Someone here a week ago requested a high res scan of Dream of the Fisherman's Wife by Hokusai. I got around to digging through my artbooks and I put together a zip which is getting uploaded to rapidshare but it'll be 20 more minutes (Hokusai - Diving Girl Ravished by Octopuses.zip).This is translated as either Dream of the Fisherman's Wife or Diving Girl Ravished by Octopuses - I don't know which one is correct, and AFAIK it wasn't actually titled, so people give it what title they want. This is from the shunga book Kinoe-no-Komatsu by Katsushika Hokusai, arguably the most well known okiyo-e artist of the 19th century. You may remember him from such common posters as "The Wave" and pretty much any other Japanese woodprint poster or print you ever see in the art store.I would greatly appreciate it if someone would be as kind to grab the raws from the rapidshare, combine the two sections of the woodprint seamlessly, and then clean it up (better than the hackjob I did) so that it would be appropriate for printing as a large poster.My email can't receive attachments, so send me links to files online
Here's another from the same shunga book
