Where can I buy a print of Dream of the Fisherman's Wife?
I have been hunting for a while and cannot find it. I figure someone here in the Mad Men forums must know since it is a prominent piece of art featured in the show. It's the woodblock print by Hokusai that features the octopus and woman in coitus that is hanging in Cooper's office. Any help to find a print of this would be appreciated.

Or you could just google "Dream of the Fisherman's Wife Hokusai" and see what comes up. :)
Thanks for the help. I had found that site before, but can't find a way to purchase through them. I thought they just provided images as an internet archive.
Yeah I contacted the guy that runs the site and they do not sell prints they are just an internet archive. Also, google doesn't turn up anything (which I knew before I asked the question) So, again, does anyone know where to find a print?
That does seem to be a tough one....I googled it (under the shopping section of google), and it didn't even show up in the listings....plus no luck at Art.com.....hmmmmmm......good luck, brett.
It's gotta be available somewhere, of course, or they couldn't even have found it for the episode. Again, good luck finding it.
The only thing I can think of it to use one of those services that take photos and transfer them onto a canvas. Might be the only way.
....that sure might work....beware of copyright laws, of course. I attempted about 11 years ago to have my old Beatles scrapbook originals (teen mag pics, newspaper articles, etc.) all copied off at Kinko's to make a duplicate scrapbook to give to my niece (I influenced her mind from an early age to be Beatle crazy, as she still is) as a gift, and was informed none could be copied...per Yoko's orders.
Yeah, that was the one thing that I figured might snag my plan. I'm not sure, but old artwork like that might not have any copyright protection. Hopefully it is considered public domain.
The print is in the collection of the British Museum. You can search their collection at their site. http://www.britishmuseum.org/research.aspx According to the description, it is the opening of the book "Kinoe no komatsu."
The print on Mad Men is accurate insofar as it really is two pages with a cut down the middle, at least the way the museum thumbnail looks.
The fair use download is explained, and if your use fits, it is allowed. It will print on A4 paper. You can read all about it on the site.
