## What is Ukiyo?

Print the masterpieces of Japan, one puzzle at a time.

Ukiyo-e Puzzle turns the greatest Japanese woodblock prints — Hokusai's Great Wave, Hiroshige's rain and snow, Sharaku's actors — into beautiful, relaxing puzzles. Solve one, and watch it "printed" before your eyes: first the ink-line block, then the colors, then the artist's seal.

■ A Playable Museum

· 24 authentic masterpieces in museum quality
· Every artwork is genuine public-domain art, courtesy of The Art Institute of Chicago
· Solve a puzzle to add the print to your Storehouse gallery
· Each print comes with a short story: what you're seeing, and why it matters

■ Three Collections

[Hokusai] Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji — including The Great Wave and Red Fuji. Free to play
[Hiroshige] Edo and the Tōkaidō Road — rain, snow, moonlight and plum gardens
[Beauties & Actors] Utamaro, Sharaku, Harunobu and the golden age of portraits

The full Hokusai collection is free. One single purchase unlocks the other two collections forever — no subscription.

■ Two Ways to Play

· Swap mode — tap two pieces to exchange them. Relaxing, no pressure, always solvable
· Slide mode — a classic sliding puzzle for a real challenge
· Difficulty grows gently from 12 to 24 pieces
· Stuck? Hold the board to peek at the original

■ The Printing Moment

Ukiyo-e prints were made by pressing layer after layer — ink lines first, then each color from its own carved block. When you complete a puzzle, you see exactly that: the sumi lines appear, the colors bloom, and the red seal stamps your work.

■ Quiet by Design

· No ads, no subscription, no accounts
· Fully offline
· Progress saved automatically
· English and Japanese

Five minutes with a masterpiece. That's all it takes.
