Choose according to the size of the rooms
Compare the dimensions of the mounted image and the dimensions of the pieces before choosing a visual of Hokusai. Provide a good light and a tray where the small pieces will remain easy to spot.
From Hokusai to the Shadow
Two iconic paintings are in honour: The Great Kanagawa Wave and The Red FujiThe works are printed with Inkjet UV technology that guarantees saturated colors and bluffing sharpness. The gradients, details, texture of the paper — everything is thought to give a real visual slam once the assembly is complete.
The finished puzzle is just 26 x 38 cmIt’s smaller than an A3 sheet, each piece is the size of a nail, an artistic challenge as well as a technical one.
Art of the little one, made in Japan
This puzzle is not produced by the chain. The blades used to cut the pieces are hand-shaped by craftsmen. The moulds are adjusted one by one. The cutting machine is manually adjusted to each series to avoid any deformation.
Even the dismantling of the puzzle (before packaging) is done by hand, piece by piece. This level of attention, almost obsessive, makes each box a collectible object. It is craft disguised as a game.
This is the whole know-how of the Japanese puzzle markings The first is the rigorous assembly, the cutting without false fittings, the premium materials and the aesthetic requirements of Japanese workshops.
No fake connections, no fairy puzzles
Every piece of wood without faux fits. It’s rare, especially on this scale. Materials? 2 mm wood fiber, Utrillo glazed paper, scratch-resistant surface. It’s clean, clean, durable. And unlike some cheap puzzles, colors don’t bathe and cardboard doesn’t stuff.
