Which photos work best?

Landscapes with water and mountains, coastlines, gardens, quiet streets and animals. A clear main subject and a calm background give the cleanest print.

What’s the difference between the two styles?

Ukiyo-e is classic and calm, in indigo, cream and soft greens. Technical Ukiyo-e Print mixes the woodblock look with blueprint lines and bold red, yellow and blue, for a more graphic, modern wall.

Are the Japanese characters real text?

The stamps and labels are decorative, added by the style the way seals appear on traditional prints. They are not a translation of anything and can’t be set to a specific text.

Will the print be sharp enough for a large frame?

Upscale the artwork before ordering and it is prepared for print, then printed on one of five archival fine-art papers from 180gsm to 315gsm. You choose the size and see a preview before you order.

Creating Japanese wall art is part of a PicturaLabs plan, starting at $9 a month (€11 in the EU), and you can cancel anytime. Prints are priced separately by size, paper and frame, and you see the price before you order.
