Scenes are drawn to scale: the sofa is 84 in wide, the desk 60 in, the door 80 in tall. Switch sizes above to compare.
Step 1 — set the scale. Drag the slider until the gold bar on the photo is the height of a standard doorway (80 in / 203 cm). Every size you pick is then drawn true to life.
Step 2 — drag the print to where it would hang, and change size or frame above to compare.

The story of this print
If the Great Wave is Hokusai’s most famous print, Red Fuji is his most perfect. Nothing happens in it. The mountain fills the sheet from the left edge, its cone printed in a red that shades from brick at the base to rose at the summit, a few streaks of snow left as bare paper, a band of dark green forest at its foot and a sky of graded blue behind ranks of small white clouds. The title, Fine Wind, Clear Morning, tells you when: an early morning in late summer, when a south wind and a clear sky turn the mountain red for a few minutes.
It is a print made of almost nothing — three colour blocks and a key line — and printers have argued for two centuries over how to grade the red. The Library of Congress sheet is a later impression, printed from the design between about 1890 and 1940, which we state plainly: early impressions are among the most valuable Japanese prints in existence, and this one is not that. It is, however, a good printing of the same design, cleanly registered, and it makes the same wall.
Restored from the archive’s scan without redrawing, at the sheet’s own proportions.

Restoration notes
Restoration: trimmed the mount and scanner margins, balanced levels while keeping the paper tone and the flat colour blocks of the woodblock impression (85% of the original colour retained), removed dust and specks, applied gentle sharpening. Toning, wormholes, the printer's registration and the collector's seals are kept where they belong to the object; nothing is redrawn.
Every print carries its archive credit on the packing slip. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn.
