Thank you for creating such a wonderful site! Woodblock printing is one of my favorite art forms.
My grandparents visited Japan long ago and gifted me two wooden boxes, one with this print on the lid: https://ukiyo-e.org/image/aic/99027_512658 and the other with https://ukiyo-e.org/image/honolulu/8277. They're secret boxes with no hinges or hardware, but if you press on certain locations in the correct order, sections will slide and the lid unlocks and can be opened.
Is there a way to stay informed of when your new print site launches?
Oh that's very cool! I have a mailing list signup on the ukiyo-e.org home page, I'll send out a message there once it's ready for testing! I've posted some screenshots on Reddit that show some of the price comparison features: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukiyoe/comments/1p6c4lb/comment/nqp... https://www.reddit.com/r/ukiyoe/comments/1pjw8br/comment/nti...
