Moonlit Sea Prints

I trusted the vendor because of his excellent communication long before my original purchase, but I was - unbeknownst to him - quite nervous about the print travelling hundreds of miles and arriving intact. My fears were unfounded. These are professionals. They deal in exquisite product, at fair prices and know that when they send it out the door. through The print arrived, well coddled in its packing, unchanged by its journey. It now warms our collective … More family heart in our home.

I bought a beautiful pair of prints, perfectly matted and framed, packed with great care and delivered quickly. Can't ask for more than that! Mokuhanga is an exquisite art form, both historic and contemporary. Moonlit Sea Prints is going to become an important presence in this area of art collecting and art appreciation. I am thrilled to become their client. ( I chose very sexy images so I better not post them!)

Buying a print from Moonlit Sea was a great experience! David has a deep understanding of the work he sells, and getting to talk with him through the process of looking at different pieces was incredibly valuable.
The website itself is a joy to use and the detail put into every listing is really impressive. I learned a lot just but browsing. The print I ordered came quickly, and in great condition.
I highly recommend working with Moonlit Sea Prints, … More and expect I’ll be back in the future.

I recently acquired 2 prints and wanted to sell one of them. I spoke to David and after he verified the condition from the pictures I emailed, he made me a very fair price on one of them and paid me for the print without any delays or issues. He explained what to look for through the process and gave me a much better understanding of this particular type of art. Thanks David. Very good transaction. I would recommend this place to anyone looking … More to buy or sell woodblock prints. Thank you very much. Clay

A few months ago, looking to add to a small collection of Japanese woodblock prints, I stumbled on the Moonlit Sea website. What a lucky find! I’ve since bought four prints, all with the expert guidance of owner David Kutcher. David made great suggestions and patiently took time to consider which prints would work well together. His enthusiasm for the art form is infectious! And the pieces all arrived quickly and safely. Can’t recommend Moonlit Sea … More strongly enough!

I was able to message via instagram to ask few questions. I got 2 incredibly beautiful prints. They arrived quickly with no travel damage. It was my first time purchasing from this gallery. The online descriptions were very helpful in understanding what I was looking at. I even asked for recommendations on Shin-Hanga books to learn more as I felt the owner was quite knowledgeable. I would recommend Moonlit Sea Prints.

Working with David and Moonlit Sea has been a truly extraordinary experience. As someone who has never purchased art before, I was intimidated by the process, and honestly had negative experiences with other galleries who weren't eager to work with a "beginner."
David and Moonlit Sea offered the exact opposite experience. David is responsive, honest, above and beyond helpful, and demonstrates a real passion for working with people … More to learn more about this art form. Moonlit Sea hasn't just been a gallery to purchase art from, they've been a sounding board, teacher, and truly helpful resource at every juncture.
I could not recommend Moonlit Sea more, and look forward to working with them into the future.

David's genuine enthusiasm is a joy to share in, and the depth of knowledge he imparts -- both in person and through his website -- is incredibly helpful as well as eye-opening. As someone whose family has been collecting Japanese prints for generations, David has inspired in me a deeper appreciation for the works I already have...and, of course, a deeper appetite for MORE! :) David clearly has the highest standard and takes the upmost care … More in every aspect of his work. Thanks, Moonlit Sea Prints!

My first art purchase was through Moonlit Sea and I am delighted. The items were well packed and arrived in good time.
The listings accurately reflected the works, condition and pricing was in line with what the items are worth. I was impressed by one work in particular and David was able to help me understand the history, where similar works were held in galleries and how he had acquired them.
I’ll definitely come back for future purchases. Thank … More you!

David (owner) is a pleasure to deal with and far exceeded my expectations for excellent service. He has been generous with his time in talking with me to answer my questions and to help educate me. The print arrived in a high-quality, hard-plastic sleeve for long-term protection, not just protection in transit. This was my first purchase from Moonlit Sea, and David's service and knowledge has gained my loyalty.

I've made my first ever purchase of japanese woodblock prints on Moonlit Sea Prints and I'll definitely do so again! David (the owner) is a great guy, he's super helpful to all kinds of questions and very courteous (I really hope this means the same thing as in my native language).
The prints are listed with lots of details, so you definitely know what you'll get. The folios they come within are high quality and keep the prints … More safe for transport. Mine are from the 1880s, so I was quite scared of transport issues. When unpacking them and seeing the folios, my first thought was "Alright, for my next order I don't need to worry at all".
The service is great, David replies fast with all the information you want and need. I definitely recommend this website to anyone who appeciates the fascinating and stunning medium of art that woodblock prints are, from a country where the technique was brought to perfection!

I was recently introduced to David through a trusted friend. From that initial contact, David and his agency, Moonlit Sea Prints, provided guidance and excellent follow up. The 2 Japanese woodblock prints arrived arrived last week. They were perfectly packaged and delivered promptly. David's service and communication from start to finish was excellent. I look forward to buying more art prints from his firm.

A few years back I purchased privately two prints of Hokusai 36 Views of Fugi but knew absolutely nothing about them and in my area there is no one who could tell me if these were real, fakes or reproductions.
So I let it go and hung them on the wall until I had a couple of friends comment that they would be interested in them and that is when I jumped into action to find out more about them.
As I read more about Hokusai and his style of art, I wondered … More it these were indeed Block prints or just Laser Prints.
I could not find anyone in my area so I entered into the expanse of the internet and found a site called "" Moonlit Sea Prints "" that dealt with Japanese prints and I thought this might be the place.
So I sat down and wrote an Email to them and was very happy to receive an Email in return the next day from David Kutcher who told me a few things to look for in these prints.
I sent back some picks of the prints and after a few more back and forth Emails I sent some pics that were the revealing to him that these were indeed Block Prints, albeit not from the 18th century but modern and great to hear that news.
From this experience with David and his patience to help me along on what to look for, these prints might still be on the wall and I would not have been informed.
This was a great lesson in the identification of block prints and would not have been possible it David did not take the time for my emails.
From this I would say to that David has a wealth of knowledge and his expertise would be a great asset in helping you with your needs.
Again I say a very big thank you to David.
Don't forget the beautiful prints he has for sale as they would be an excellent addition to dress up your walls.
Thanks

David was great. He is super knowledgeable and always fast to reply. I found a print and knew nothing about it and he was more then happy to tell me about my find and then helped walk me through the purchasing process which was very easy. I was often slow to respond and a little flakey on when I was sending my print and despite this he was always kind and helpful. Plenty of patience. Great experience and would recomend his to anyone looking to sell … More or learn more about a print that they have.

Moonlit Sea Prints/David KutcherWhat a pleasant experience. I contacted David regarding woodblock prints I wanted to sell. He responded that same very day. Not only did he make me a very fair offer he also was willing to research some other pieces I knew nothing about. To sum it up David is professional yet very relatable and easy to work with. He is knowledgeable, very fast to respond and extremely fair with offer to buy. I would happily choose … More to do business with David again. Thanks
