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
Jūmantsubo — the hundred-thousand-tsubo — was a tract of reclaimed land beyond Fukagawa on the edge of Edo Bay, empty marsh under snow in winter, and Hiroshige’s print of it is one of the boldest designs in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The eagle fills the top half of the sheet, seen from above and slightly behind as it banks, its feathers cut in the finest key-block work in the series and its talons open; the world it hunts over is tiny and far below — snow, grey water, a lone bucket adrift, the blue cone of Mount Tsukuba on the horizon.
The bird’s plumage was printed with mica in the best impressions, so it glinted, and the sheet has been a favourite of collectors and of poster designers ever since. The Library of Congress impression is early, the graded greys of the water and sky well handled; restored from the archive’s scan without redrawing, at the sheet’s own proportions.
Printed to order on archival matte paper or canvas, framed in the country of delivery.

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.
