Framed Japanese prints, in solid wood, hung the way the sheet was printed
A framed Japanese print is usually a small poster behind a wide mat and a thin metal frame. Ours is the other way round: a full-size archival print from the museum’s own scan of Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro, Kuniyoshi or Yoshida, no mat, run to the edge of a 0.8 in solid wood frame with an acrylic front and the hardware already fitted. Printed and framed to order in the USA in 2–4 business days.

What you are paying for
Three things a framed print from us has that a framed poster does not
The print fills the frame
No mat, no border. The image and the sheet’s own margin run to the molding, the way ukiyo-e sheets were published — so a 16×24 frame holds a 16×24 print, not an 11×14 with cardboard around it.
The file survives the size
Every print is made from the archive master, commonly 8,000 to 10,800 pixels wide, and a framed size is offered only where that file carries 200 dpi. At 32×48 in the woodgrain in the key block is still there.
Framed where it is printed
The print goes into its frame at the facility that made it, in the USA, and ships as one domestic package. No frame ordered separately, nothing to assemble, nothing to align.
Framed sizes
What each size costs, framed
Prices are for the print in a solid wood frame, any of the three colors — the same price in black, oak or white. Not every print comes in every size: a size appears on a product page only when its scan is sharp enough for it.

Print sizes, given portrait-way (width × height); a landscape print such as the Great Wave takes the same size turned. The frame adds about 0.8 in on each side, so the framed piece is about 1.6 in larger each way. Size guide →

Before you choose
See the framed size on your own wall
Every product page places the framed print in five to-scale rooms with an optional 5 ft 6 in figure beside it, or on a photograph of your own wall — the photo stays in your browser and never reaches us. Two framed prints hung together take 10% off the second: gallery wall sets.
Questions about framed Japanese prints
What exactly is the frame?
Solid wood, about 0.8 in on the face, in black, natural oak or white. A clear acrylic front rather than glass — lighter, and it does not shatter in transit — a rigid backing board, and the hanging hardware already fitted. There is no mat: the print runs to the frame edge, keeping the sheet’s own margin the way the publisher printed it.
Which frame color suits a Japanese woodblock print?
Black is the classic choice for Hokusai and Hiroshige — it holds the key-block outline and makes the Prussian blue sit forward. Natural oak is warmer and closer to how these prints were shown in Japan, and it flatters the buff paper tone of an older impression. White works on a pale wall or beside other white-framed pieces, and is the quietest of the three. Every product page shows all three on the print itself before you choose.
Is the framed print an original?
No, and we never call it one. Each is a new archival print made from the full-resolution scan a public museum or library publishes of an original impression, restored by hand and printed at 200 dpi or better. The artist, year, series and institution are named on every product page. From $52 on paper, $152 framed.
What framed sizes are there?
13 framed sizes across the collection, from 12×16 in to 32×48 in. A size is offered only where the archive scan carries at least 200 dpi, so a large frame never means a soft print. The product page shows the framed outside size as well as the print size.
How does a framed print arrive, and how long does it take?
Printed and framed to order in 2–4 business days at a facility in the USA, then shipped tracked. Framed prints are double-boxed with corner protection and arrive ready to hang. US orders ship free, with no minimum.
What if the frame or acrylic is damaged in transit?
Tell us within 30 days of delivery through the claim form — one photo — and a replacement is printed and framed in 2–4 business days. Nothing to send back.
