Profile
Tomoko Tsukui – Eraser stamp artist
Born 1980 in Fujimi City, Saitama Prefecture.
From the age of 15, Tomoko began carving stamps out of erasers and producing prints as a hobby.
As her skill developed, this hobby grew into a livelihood, and after graduating from Wako University she began producing order-made stamps carved from erasers and marketed under the brand name “Shokado.”
Television appearances and the publication of her first book in 2005 led to further media exposure and to hands-on workshops, talk events, and public demonstrations that drew attention to the creative possibilities of eraser stamp art.
She also developed and marketed a special brand of ink as well as a kit for making eraser-carved stamps. Since that time, she has continued to expand the range of materials and applications for prints and other artwork made from stamps.
In 2012, she began displaying her stamp-based artwork in galleries and exhibitions throughout Japan and overseas, featuring her original “Hanbyo” technique, in which different eraser stamps are combined to create original prints and artwork.
In recent years, she has expanded her work to the field of interior design, producing stamp-based frescoes.
Since 2013, she has been living in the seaside resort town of Atami, in Shizuoka Prefecture, where she works out of her home studio.

Workshops
I’m happy to travel to any part of the world if you support the travel and accommodation costs.
Online workshops are also possible using Zoom or LINE.
The tools and materials needed for these workshops are also available for sale.
I can only speak a little English, so a Japanese interpreter is required.
It takes about 2 hours for about 10 people at a time to learn the basics and make some stamps.
Order
You can order any of the following
・Hand carved eraser stamps
・Picture works drawn with stamps
The design fee depends on whether it is an adaptation of existing works or a completely new work.
And the size and detail of the artwork will determine the price.
Please refer to my Gallery page for a selection of my past work.
I am also happy to work within your budget.
Orders for product design and illustration are also accepted.
