Hidden/Forgotten Treasures

The Riso Print Gocco (プリントゴッコ, Purinto Gokko) machine was an early precursor and self-contained printing system created by Noboru Nayama in 1977. It’s a funny little machine, and at one point was reportedly in the homes of a third of homes in Japan which is really quite astounding if true. Like more modern Risograph duplicators and screen printing, it uses stencils to produce images. In the case of the Gocco though, the images it’s able to produce are quite small — think: greeting card size.

While looking for something else and digging through shelves, I stumbled on a decent stash of Gocco supplies that I’d forgotten about. Fun will be had.
