Jigsaw puzzles from Japan

Yanoman postcard size

On this page: Ukiyo-e - Scenes of modern Tokyo - Hello Kitty - Disney - Maurits Escher - Western art classics - Only(!) 99 pieces -

Yanoman calls this series of puzzles "Petit" - something of an understatement! The pieces are so small the set includes a miniature pair of tweezers for those with blunt fingers.

The last set are what they call "Petit light", only half as many pieces, but still quite a challenge for the fingers.

Note that the minimum shipping charge of 400 yen covers about four of these puzzles, so you save by buying them together.
For more miniature challenges see the Tenyo 1000-piece tiny puzzles

Ukiyo-e

Otani Oniji (Sharaku)

The actor Otani Oniji strikes an intense pose in the role of Yakko Edobei. A classic Sharaku kabuki portrait.

Interesting description of how ukiyo-e were made

Very little of certainty is known about Sharaku (this is his given name, though it is very likely no-one's real name; his family name, Tôshûsai, is rarely used at all). His works, caricatures of kabuki artists, appeared over the space of less than a year from mid-1794, and then he totally disappeared. Theories abound!
