An incredible collection of Japanese prints from the 1700s to the 1940s formatted for iPhone. Works on iPad too. Easy to navigate because it’s grouped by years, artist, and a couple of types. Option to save to photos or use as wallpaper. Ability to mark favorites comes in handy because the collection is large. Slideshow option too. Would like to see an option for saving to camera roll unformatted. Also, please add more categories such as Geisha, Warrior, snow scene, mountains, water, animals, etc. I have been a fan of Japanese prints since I first saw them in a museum print collection. So happy to have this app, it is worth the couple of bucks to get rid of the ads.

Developer Response
What a beautiful thing to read — thank you so much. Knowing the history, detail, and folklore in these works can ease your mind even for a few moments means more to me than I can say. That's exactly the kind of quiet escape I hope the app can offer. We'll keep adding pieces worth contemplating. Please take care, and thank you.Masaki Hirokawa (Dolice)
Love it

I love this app, great Ukiyo-e collection. I just wish it had the names of the artist on the image on a little corner or something. I use it every morning and pick random images but when I really like the image I don’t know who is it from. Besides that it’s an amazing app!!
Developer Response
Thank you so much, matbuv — I love that you start each morning with a random print! Showing the artist's name right on the image is a great idea, and exactly the kind of thing I'd like to add so you always know who's behind a piece you love. I'll keep it high on my list. Thanks again for the thoughtful suggestion!Masaki Hirokawa (Dolice)
