I just saw it at Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's studio. Early in his career, Wright was a dealer of Japanese woodblocks and very likely the majority of those prints in America went through him. His print was actually in pretty poor shape. The one at the NY Met is better but still pretty faded.
The version I used was heavily edited to adjust for the fading colors and deteriorated paper. I think it is closer to what Hokusai intended.
I hired an image editor, and he spent a lot of time working on all the designs. The greatest achievement was on the Cellarius star chart as the original was not quite square, so he moved around the cherubs and added in clouds. No easy feat.

I was able to Macgyver it back together with a pin and some pliers but I was surprised since I've hardly used it.
Can you email sales@kentwang.com with a photo? That shouldn't happen and we'll make it right for you.

It's a gift certificate. If you have any remaining value, you can reuse the gift certificate code again, an unlimited number of times until you use up all the balance, no expiration.
