Update!

(15 August) The database should now be fixed, so there are no more stray funny characters... but there may still be glitches. I just discovered that all of the Peanuts puzzles had disappeared, because "artist=peanuts" was not matching "Peanuts"; so there is more to do in sorting out case-insensitive matching.

Database problem!

Apologies! A recent database upgrade has left lots of Japanese text corrupted, and also some variant characters, such as the e-acute in "Pokémon," not showing correctly. I am working to correct this but may take some days...

Jigsaw puzzle manufacturers

Cuties

Cuties is a rather odd little company, producing a rather disparate range of jigsaw puzzles, in addition to "adult dolls" and similar products. In particular, they obviously have someone with a passion for hanga, woodblock prints by the great masters, and the ukiyo-e range includes all 53 of the "Stations of the Tokaido" by Hiroshige, and many of Hokusai's portrayals of Mount Fuji, all in 300 pieces.

There is a Cuties website; here is the page on puzzles: http://www.cuties.co.jp/puzzle.html. This page includes a selection of puzzles, and there are also downloadable Excel spreadsheets, whose names are largely self-explanatory:
