Kubota-san, my name is Sam and I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I own several of your prints and display them on my work desk. Thank you very much for adding a bit of color to my life.

Almost every Time I asked Dave San to explain something about the printing process, He would mention Kubota San's skills, He would explain your methods and professionality and that helped me achieve better understanding for my own printmaking process, Thank you Kubota San

We never had the luck of meeting you (Kuboto San) in person, yet your craftsmanship has amazed us every time! You're a true gentleman delivering work of such high quality and yet to stay so humble. Thank you for sharing your spirit through your excellent craftsmanship

Mr Kubota, You are an amazing craftsman. Your beautiful skills have given me wonderful enjoyment when I look at your prints. I will treasure them always. Thank you

Thank you, Kubota-san, for the treasures you have created that now surround me in my home. I am honored to be able to hold in my hands what you once held in yours. I will treasure them always, and pass them on to the next generation. -Jordan

From Virginia, USA, thank you for your hard work and artistry, Kubota-san.

Thank you for all your hard work Kubota-san. Your prints are always a joy to look at.

Thank you for the impeccable work you've produced over your lifetime. I've come to associate the kanji for "Kubota" with "perfection" after receiving each print you've done for Mokuhankan. Thank you so much for everything you produced for the world to enjoy.

Sincerely,

Cindy T.

This is from Nicky Roman, art student currently living in northern california. Your work has deeply inspired me even though I've never seen it in person, just on Dave's twitch streams. It's helped uplift me during hard times. Thank you for the beautiful contribution to the art world and being such a hardworking dedicated craftsman.

Dear Mr. Kubota, There are no words to describe how grateful I am to be able to own and admire Japanese wood-block prints that were printed by you. It has been the greatest honor to admire this beautiful Japanese artform through your exquisite skills. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Elzbieta SLodkowska

Thank you for your incredible craftsmanship. There's a spark of joy in every single print, of beautiful work, a job well done. Your name will live long. Thank you.

Thank you for all your hard work. Your work ethics has truly been an inspiration.

When I began to learn about the art of Japanese printmaking through Dave-san's channel, I eventually started to want to buy some copies of certain prints for myself. I began to hear about a great printer named Kubota-san, from Dave-san, who was always so excited and in awe of the prints that would come back from this craftsman, and how beautiful and professional they always were. So when I bought my first prints, all I wanted was to, hopefully, get some prints that were carved by Dave-san and printed by Kubota-san, but I had no way of knowing which prints fell into those categories. But I am very happy, lucky, fortunate, and grateful to say that I now have several prints carved by Dave-san and printed by Kubota-san. A dynamic duo of printmaking. You have touched thousands of lives all across the globe, Mr. Kubota. And we all thank you for your beautiful work and the legacy you have left for us. ❤️

Thank you for your dedication to creating such beautiful art. -James

Mr. Kubota, thank you for your immense contribution to bringing the wonders of Japanese woodblock prints to a worldwide audience. It seems to me that Mokuhankan would not have been able to achieve the level of success that it has without the great quality and volume of prints that you produced.

I thought your most recent work was really cool!! I played in Saitama in 2007 for an international soccer tournament all the way from Hawaii; I was born on Maui and grew up Surfing; unfortunately I'm locked away going to school in (Azkaban) but I hope to do my family proud and will share your artwork with my friends in Hawaii when I get back. I hope you're with family & loved ones.

The beauty of your work has brought joy to so many of us across the world and will continue doing so. Thank you so much, Kubota-san.

Kubota-san - what a strange and unexpected pleasure it has been to watch Dave open packages of your finished prints for some time now, and an even greater pleasure to have a piece of your work in physical form. You are a treasure and your work has soothed a weary heart and mind time and time again. I wish you peace and love.

Dear Kubota-san, It amazes me how you working at your desk in Japan could bring pleasure to people all over the world, including me in a small town in Alabama, USA. Thank you for your work. Michael

Sir, we have never met but, in my home, I have pieces of paper you have touched. Thank your for your commitment to doing quality good work.
