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

Landscape photographer Takeuchi Toshinobu

The photographer, Takeuchi Toshinobu, born in 1943, is well-known as a nature photographer, and teacher. (Takeuchi is his family name.) These are photographs of the highest quality, and unfortunately it's impossible to show this adequately in a Web display. All puzzles are 1000 pieces, and while there is the seemingly infinite variation in tone and texture that prevents photo puzzles from being tedious, these are probably all at the harder end of the difficulty scale.
