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 with words
Contemporary art with calligraphy
The Japanese tradition of calligraphy as art means that no clear line is drawn between "Art" and "Inscription", allowing a free display of a synthesis that defies simplistic Western classification. These artists all employ contemporary painting styles, yet preserve the feel of a now-gone era.
