Ukiyo-e is the Japanese woodblock print tradition. The woodblock style on these pages borrows its flowing outlines.

Are these views of real places?

No. The scenes are drawn subjects, a wave, a koi pond and a pagoda, not portraits of named temples.

Which style is easiest?

Bold and easy, with simplified shapes and large open areas.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type a direction such as a crane or a geisha, and the same three styles are applied to it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
