Too much Great Wave. Especially on HN. Just recently there was an Apple II black and white version of front page.
Look up Hiroshige. Very nice prints.
There was another nice Ukiyo-e artist but I forgot the name...

In my defence, this link was originally posted by somebody else 34 days ago, and also by me 22 days ago, long before the Macintosh 1-bit version, but my link received zero upvotes. It's here today on the front page because of HN's Second-Chance Pool https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308
My personal favourite Japanese woodblock artist is Kawase Hasui who was part of the Shin-Hanga movement in the 1920s/30s.
Heh, I think the author I was thinking about was Hasui. I love his snow woodblocks.
