Irasutoya (Japanese: いらすとや) is a Japanese website that provides royalty free stock illustrations owned by illustrator Takashi Mifune. The name came from Japanese words for "illustration" (イラスト irasuto) and "shop" (屋 ya) that were converted into hiragana.
Irasutoya, with its huge variety of illustrations, is widely popular in Japan. The site offers illustrations with vast array of themes: festival, family, profession, etc. Illustrations of Irasutoya can be found on social media, public events, television programs, and bulletin boards of Japanese government offices.[1]
