High Quality Prints

Most Japanese art prints for sale are scans of small, two-hundred-year-old pages, enlarged until they blur. Nearly all of these are redrawn by hand, line by line, so they stay crisp even as a large poster.

Left: a free public domain scan of Hokusai’s 1823 book page, from Smithsonian Libraries. Right: the same dancer in Bon Dancers, redrawn by hand to print sharply at poster size.

Why large Japanese prints are hard to find

Drawn to scale.

The originals are small

Hokusai’s drawing books are about 23 cm tall, and a standard woodblock print sheet about 38 cm. A large poster print is nearly four times the height of the book page it comes from.

Scans don’t stretch

A good museum scan of the Bon dancers page gives the picture about 2,200 × 3,200 pixels. Stretched to poster size that is around 100 dpi, a third of what a sharp print needs.
