 Artifact Puzzle ReviewJul 06, 2009
By RunningHeather
This Japanese print is 81 pieces (9x9 grid) of all same-sized, almost identical interlocks. Given that pattern and the laser cutting, "wrong" fits are quite easy to make and this was quite a challenge. This is an excellent image and a clever cutting style for a puzzle. However, I would have enjoyed slightly more interlock variability since at times it can be hard to tell if you have a false fit. Some aspects of this cutting style are more reminiscent of cardboard puzzles than wooden; however, the beauty of the image made this quite worthwhile to work.

 Mini Size, Maxi FunMay 28, 2009
By JoAnn Moffett
The quality of this puzzle is excellent and the wooden pieces are very satisfying to handle. Since each piece can physically interlock with any other piece, assembly relies heavily on subtleties in color and pattern. Having multiple non-border pieces with straight edge(s) adds to the fun. You will find putting this puzzle together is great entertainment!

SubtleSep 18, 2009

This is a small puzzle which heavily relies on watching for the color variations in order to put it together properly. Nearly all the pieces are interchangeable so pay attention to the color variations. I never really liked jigsaw puzzles because I didn't like the cardboard stuff...it looked cheap etc...but on a whim I ordered one of the bigger wooden puzzles from Artifact and now i'm hooked. A world of difference when assembling a wooden puzzle.

Wonderful puzzle!Apr 28, 2011
By Karen Hagan
I read the reviews before buying this puzzle and am glad I did. It really is all about the shades of colors and matching the pattern as virtually all pieces are interchangeable. Also, having pieces that are straight like an edge in the middle of the puzzle makes this fun. I loved it and will put it together again. Beautiful quality, colors, and such a treat to have wooden pieces to handle. Try it!
Hokusai Dragon Puzzle (Artifact Puzzles)Jan 21, 2012
By Barbara
I have assembled many Artifact puzzles and enjoy the wonderful artwork and amusing puzzle shapes. This puzzle has more traditional puzzle piece shapes but they are cut so consistently that they will fit together in many (incorrect) ways. You must follow the subtleties of the artwork to help you solve the puzzle. My puzzle-loving sister and I put this together for the first time, and we both appreciated how it was much more difficult than you would think by looking at the handful of puzzle pieces in a silken bag. It's great for when you have minimal space, say, on an airplane or train trip.
