Another place to spend WAY too much time.

Even worse since I love Japanese woodcuts almost as much as I love hand painted papyrus art from Egypt.

You are sooo welcome :wink:

I’ve already spotted several that will cleanly SVG in Inkscape for engraving on stuff. I don’t know if I should thank you or curse you. LOL.

TBH I haven’t explored them. Got a few links? Also is there clear licensing?

Haven’t looked at the licensing, yet. The images tend to be hundreds of years old. No links, but let me paste one here…

That’s after Inkscape, though might be better with slightly less on the threshold.

It’s not every day that a Japanese woodcut screams Halloween, but this print is so fun! Thanks for sharing. I was hoping to wake up to an excuse to avoid getting back to work…

Thank you! Great share!

Great resource. Thank you!

Nice find. I always enjoy pictures of Mt. Fuji. Here is one of my favorites. I bet it would work well on a GF gray scaled, and maybe make Mt Fuji white.

that is almost perfect to just invert, and perhaps play with the clouds and waves a bit but just strait looks good by itself.

That was a straight invert and straighten’ done in Irfanview. I am fooling with it a bit in Gimp to clean it up more.

Here it is as a height map -you can make your own STL
