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...
申し訳ありません 現在、データーベースの問題でほとんどのパズルの詳細などの日本語が文字化けになっています。修復するまで何日かかかるかも知れません。ご了承ください。
Jigsaw puzzles from Japan
Art by Kayo Horaguchi
Fantastic figures and colours
The silhouettes in Kayo Horaguchi's images must remind us of Fujishiro's paper cutouts, but her style is really quite different, and even more unrestrained (if that is possible). The pictures are all collages, often difficult to parse at first sight, but as you explore them, details start to pop out all over the place. They will make great puzzles, because you can puzzle out the picture as you put it together!
