100 yen Jigsaw Puzzle, Ukiyo-e




I was in one of the bigger 100 yen shops (like a Dollar Store) in Kagoshima recently, and I had to look over the toys section to get a cheap tennis ball-like toy for someone. While I was looking, I discovered a small line of 100+ piece jigsaw puzzles that I've never seen before. Designs included a shot of the ISS and a shinkansen (bullet train). I settled on this Ukiyo-e woodblock print.



Took me about 45 minutes to assemble, which wasn't too bad since I haven't played with jigsaw puzzles in over 20 years. The picture is pretty funny, if you inspect it closely. Not a bad deal for $1.
