The choice of works was made because Japanese colour woodcut works from the 19th century served as inspiration for French Impressionism.
The Kunsthalle Bremen's collection of prints, which comprises 220,000 works dating back to the 15th century, is among the largest in Germany.
Other parts of the museums archives are also being digitalized in a project that started in 2014.
