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 puzzles from Japan

Art puzzles

On this page: Traditional themes - Illustration - Fantasy - Anime

A guide to the Japanese art puzzles, in four categories: Traditional, Illustration, Fantasy, and Anime. The first three are somewhat loosely defined—many of the artists have their own distinctive styles that defy classification—so there is lots of overlap.
