Ukiyo-e Puzzle: Art Tiles

Tap two tiles, watch them snap, and feel a beautiful Japanese painting come together piece by piece. Simple to start, calming to finish.

Ukiyo-e Puzzle turns real, public-domain Japanese woodblock prints and historical portraits into gentle picture puzzles. Each artwork is split into tiles and shuffled. You drag to swap two tiles, they snap into place, and when the last piece lands the full picture is revealed. Relaxing, elegant, and quietly rewarding.

REAL ART, NO COPYRIGHT WORRIES
Every image is an authentic public-domain (CC0) work, sourced from world museums like the Art Institute of Chicago and The Met.

THE STORY BEHIND EACH PRINT
Every artwork comes with a trivia card: its era and the history that shaped it. Solve the puzzle, then learn who made it, when, and why it still matters centuries later.
