Our most popular traditional artist, Kaname paints a wide range of subjects, from kimono beauties to Buddhist deities, tigers, dragons, and other animals. This page shows his best-selling puzzles, and there are separate pages for the
kimono collection, animals, and gods. (Note: The translations of titles are mine.)
Some of the puzzle descriptions tentatively suggest that good fortune may follow from hanging the puzzle on the wall. Or perhaps just from completing it? I don't know, but the Imaginatorium's resident Blinkered Empiricist has issued a disclaimer: These are attractive puzzles, but we make no claim that they will have any supernatural effect whatsoever.

The carp is a traditional symbol of wordly success, and these two fine specimens produce a vigorous spray as they make their way up in the world. The original title, Daishôri ("Great-rise-carp") is a pun, because with different characters shôri also means "Victory".
