I found this image online and wish to use for my bookcover. I don't know the copyright,artist, all I know it is from Japan and is used in may placesfreely on he web. Is it possible to use this image with out permission?
Is it possible? Sure. Is it possible to do it risk-free? No, unless you do the research needed to confirm that the image is in the public domain (or, if it is not, to buy the right to use it).
