The following text is from a representative of the Hendricks Art Collection:

Joichi Hoshi - I met with Mr. Hoshi in 1978 a few months before his death in June, 1979. He had just completed a new home in Chiba Prefecture, which he proudly showed to those who visited. The home was designed for complete living comfort as well as for a spacious work area.

One room was devoted to drawing the image and transferring it to the woodblocks. The second was used for carving of blocks. At the time I visited with him he had four apprentices and thus needed considerable room for working. The third room was used for printing and the last for signing, numbering and storage of the prints.

The most interesting aspect was that there were automatic sliding doors between rooms so that the door would open immediately when a person approached it. The worker could pass through the door with numbers of prints in his arms and still be sure that he didn't damage any of them.
