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.
- Famous Sengoku warlords: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura
- Iconic prints: Hokusai's Great Wave and Red Fuji, Sharaku, Beauty Looking Back, Hiroshige landscapes
- Around 410 artworks in total to discover

THE STORY BEHIND EACH PRINT
When you finish, the completed print is framed full-screen with trivia written for that artwork: the people and legends it shows, its era, and a "Look closely" detail to spot. Solve the puzzle, then learn who made it, when, and why it still matters centuries later.

YOUR OWN GALLERY
Each piece you complete is saved to a personal Gallery you can revisit anytime, building a private collection of art and history as you play, like a museum in your pocket.
