Confusion with "Tessaido"

Could I please have some guidance? This is a long shot, I am aware
We have been to this "Tessai-do" a few times in the past, and this is the info from an earlier Lonely Planet Kyoto
"While exploring the lovely Nene-no-Michi lane in Higashiyama’s main sightseeing district, you might want to step into this fine little wood-block print shop, Tessaido 463 Shimokawara-chō, Higashiyama-ku"
However the most recent Lonely Planet Kyoto no longer mentions it
I have tried to Google it, and found this, and emailed them at tessai1@pluto.plala.or.jp I was advised that they were "鉄斎堂 Tessai-do" at Shinmonzen st.Higashiooji Higashiyama-ku Kyoto and not the "Tessaido" mentioned by LP
We would really like to return to the "Tessai-do" we know, but I am unsure if it is still there?
Would anyone happen to know?
Thank you

Dear AusTF,
I have done a quick research on google maps. The shop you are looking for should be: てっさい堂 高台寺店
If you use this name on googleMaps (copy/paste) it shows the shop. BUT, the address, listed on the info section on google maps for this shop, guides you to a different place...
The last comment about this shop are from 3 months ago, so the shop should be already open, but you never know.
But I think you have somewhat "trial and error" if you are in Kyoto.
LG, Vio

Thank you Vio Not reading Kanji makes Google maps difficult for me. We shall therefore just try our luck : it will be lovely walk however it turns out.
I am very grateful for your help.

Thank you SO much AK The one we are after has the Ukiyo-e, so it would seem it is still there.
That is great.
Thanks again
