| A Modern version of The Tale of Genji by Toyokuni Utagawa, 1853 (Library of Congress) |
"The Library's Prints and Photographs Division houses more than 2,500 woodblock prints and drawings by Japanese artists of the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries including Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi, Sadahide, and Yoshiiku. The Library of Congress appreciates the financial support provided by Nicihibunken (International Research Center for Japanese Studies, an Inter-University Research Institute Corporation) to scan 1,100 of the Ukiyo-e prints."
That seems like a rabbit whole that could take most of this weekend to explore.

Download all of the prints you can handle from the Library of Congress website.
