Hi everyone!
I really want to find some good-looking Japanese posters/pictures to have on my walls.
I know some of you use newspapers/magazines etc, but I´d really like to find something that doesn´t make me look like a psycho.
I´m going to New York in a couple of weeks, so can I find something there?
If not, do you guys have any recommendations for online-stores that sell Japanese posters?

Thank you!

I'd like to know this as well.

Just a couple from a random google search (there's tons more if you search around):

Ukiyo-e art prints:

If you are looking for anime characters, movie posters, music posters, etc., I saw quite a few listings for them as well. If you can be more specific about what you are looking for, maybe someone can help.

I´m sorry for the late answer!
Thank you for your links, but I´m looking for posters with a lot of text, but at the same time I want something that looks cool / not psycho like newpapers all over the wall!

Can't you make your own? Find some large images and have someone print them out (a store or a site or something).

I'm tempted to make some 'reprints' from Tadanori Yokoo's vintage posters:

These are cool too: http://visipix.dynalias.com/search/searc...an%27&s=24

Wow, I haven´t thought of that, haha! Genius!
I´ll find some cool pictures, and go to the local photo-shop! Woho! =)

hehe. I've never made a poster before, but I've used sites like Cafe Press to make Japanese t-shirts (from films/manga/etc). Here's a poster site, never used it, though: http://www.zazzle.com/custom/posters

For those of you wanting Chinese posters, how cool are these.

So you mean japanese cool but not in a geeky anime way? Japanese vintage beer (or other products if you must) posters are the way to go.

I managed to get hold of a couple of Kirin beer ones many years ago that were vintage images but for a new advertising campaign. Here's an example of one of the images http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2764...deeeb6.jpg

They were about 80x140cms (30x55 inches) I got them framed up in glass with a simple black frame. Everybody that visited my place absolutely loved them. I even had a real estate agent friend that would come and borrow them to put in apartments she was trying to sell that needed "modernizing".

Just google images "japanese beer posters" (or similar) and you'll find/see some great stuff.

Those Chinese posters are awesome. I'd never pay that kind of money though.

I've wanted some posters with my favourite Japanese artists for a while now...
