Hokusai is great and as with all ukiyo-e, you can buy a nice reprint for around hundred bucks. It was supposed to be mass-produced and not be in a single exemplair somewhere on a wall in museum.

These are all from the Library of Congress you can download high res TIFFs for them and print them yourself.

Here’s one. https://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3g08749/

That's not exactly the same.

I think the person you’re responding to may mean “have them professionally printed” - where you can have a museum quality print, or even have it printed on canvas etc. for example: a 16x20 canvas print in decent quality is ~$20.

Hokusai’s prints do not belong on canvas, please don't do that, paper is fine.

That's not ukiyo-e, it's a copy ukiyo-e made on a printer. You can just have a real thing that is actually ukiyo-e from original forms. If it's not scam of course.
