Nagai's own studio, run by his son (and manager). It sold signed posters via Instagram (2020–22) and originals by email (2023), but never had a web shop: any site claiming to be FMCD is fake. Often closed since 2024 and slow to reply.

Buying from abroad

  • Many Japanese shops don't ship abroad. Proxy buyers like FromJapan, ZenMarket, Buyee or Neokyo order for you and forward the parcel, for a fee.
  • In Tokyo, check Adult Oriented Records, the top floor of Loft Shibuya, Tsutaya (Ginza / Daikanyama) and department-store galleries. Pop-ups turn up without much notice.
  • In the EU, Gallery Sato in Paris avoids customs headaches.
  • On a budget, his official art books (Fukkan.com) and licensed calendars or vinyl are affordable and support him directly.

Reported fake

displate.com

The platform appears to host prints of Hiroshi Nagai's artwork that may be copied and sold without proper licensing or permission from the artist or rights holders.

Flagged by a visitor through the link checker and reviewed by the moderator.

Reported fake

nagaigallery.com · “Melody4Love” · @nagaigallery

Shopify store pushed via targeted Instagram ads. It claims 'Official Hiroshi Nagai Artwork' and 'Signature Print' for €69(≈¥12,300)(≈$79)(≈฿2,640)€149(≈¥26,600)(≈$170)(≈฿5,700) in multiple sizes.

It uses FMCD Gallery's address without permission. Order emails come from “Melody4Love” with a Gmail reply-to, and discount mails are signed with a made-up family name. A buyer confirmed the print that arrived was not legit. FMCD's only storefront is its Instagram.

Eclat Atelier · @eclatatelierparis

Pushed through Instagram ads in 2023–24, selling 'signed' prints in several sizes.

A buyer found consumer inkjet on photo paper, a printed signature and upscaled JPEGs with visible artefacts. The store deleted critical comments on its ads, then vanished without refunds, and Instagram removed the account. Nagai warned about these sellers on his own Instagram.

Printed signatures at that price point. Many buyers never received orders, support email went dead, and the store disappeared. People filed chargebacks and police reports.

Reported fake

nosillycollect.com (clone)

Phishing copy of No Silly Collect, a Korean reseller of gallery posters whose post Nagai liked on Instagram.

The real shop's owner warned that only the .shop domain is theirs and the .com is a phishing site. Fake clones copy real names, so check the exact domain before paying.

Bootleg reprints

Élysée Atelier · @elyseeatelier

Twin of Eclat Atelier: same shop design, same pictures, same Instagram ads.

One listed piece isn't a Nagai at all (reverse image search finds nothing). Buyers waited weeks for orders, and Instagram removed the account. One buyer said a 'license' came with the print, but the studio never confirmed any.

Bootleg reprints

Etsy, Amazon, Redbubble, AliExpress, cheap eBay

“Hiroshi Nagai” canvases, A4 framed prints and poster sets for $20(≈¥3,100)(≈€17)(≈฿670)$100(≈¥15,600)(≈€87)(≈฿3,330).

These are unlicensed copies of images scraped from the web, often AI-extended to fit an aspect ratio. Some listings say 'in the style of' to dodge takedowns. None of the money reaches the artist.

AI lookalikes

AI ‘city pop’ shops (e.g. Retrowaviest)

Endless 'city pop inspired' posters flooding Instagram, Pinterest and image search.

Generated in his style, with no artist credited. Not a Nagai, even if it looks like one at thumbnail size. Over half of a plain image search for his name can be AI output.

Unauthorized use

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov on X)

An official DHS post on X used a Nagai painting in one of its posts at the end of 2025.

Nagai wrote on X that the image was used without his permission and asked his followers what he should do about it. Unauthorized use isn't limited to shady print shops.

How to spot a fake

  1. Price too good to be true?Signed, numbered editions cost $1,000–$3,000+. Originals start around $10k. A 'signed print' for €80 is not real.
  2. Multiple sizes = reprintReal editions come in one fixed size. A dropdown with 30×40 / 40×50 / 45×60 is a print-on-demand shop.
  3. Identical signaturesHand signatures vary from sheet to sheet. If every listing shows the exact same autograph, it's printed.
  4. Stamp, certificate, receiptFMCD gallery posters carry a stamp under the title. Editions come with an edition number and certificate. Ask resellers for a receipt.
  5. Cross-check his InstagramLegit partners are tagged or reposted by @hiroshipenguinjoe. FMCD's account has been quiet since 2022, so rely on his personal one. If he's never mentioned the shop, be sceptical, and check the exact domain.
  6. Pay with protectionUse a credit card or PayPal Goods & Services so you can charge back if the parcel never shows.
