If you haven't seen it already, check out the NHK documentary: "The Lost Hokusai." A masterpiece by Hokusai (the guy who did the famous woodblock print of the ocean wave) was destroyed in a fire, but a single black-and-white photo of it remained. Analysts worked with artists and other specialists to try to recreate what the original colors might have looked like.
