On days when there is no need to hurry, let’s take the long way around to the road that leads to the sea.

A small seaside town bathed in bright sunlight.

Narrow, old cobblestone alleys wind between stone houses adorned with flowers, leading down to the sea.

Beyond them lies the sparkling blue Mediterranean.
In the distance, a white sailboat drifts by, and a gentle sea breeze seems to sweep through the town.

Perched atop a stone wall is a little bird.

Does it gaze upon this view every day?
Or is it perhaps showing someone visiting for the first time the path it loves best?

There are some sights you can only find when you aren't rushing to your destination.

Admiring the flowers, listening closely to the sound of the sea.
By taking a slight detour, your ordinary day might look a little different.

Today, I’m taking the long way to the sea.

This piece is part of Kouken’s landscape art series, "The Quiet Invitation."
Through the scenery where this small bird lives, the work depicts a world where the viewer can step away from daily life and enjoy a moment of freedom.

Koken

My work explores the "inner space" where thought, memory, and existence intersect. Using heavy impasto, I construct phenomena such as pressure, collapse, and regeneration on the canvas, simultaneously expressing both stillness and depth.

Rather than depicting landscapes or specific objects, my work aims to evoke a "sense of being" and the "ineffable spaces" that lie beyond words.

My goal is to create an experience where the viewer can let go of their thoughts while facing the work, quietly returning to themselves.

I hope my art will serve as a lasting presence in your daily life, bringing a sense of calm and a serene atmosphere to your space.

My hobbies include Shorinji Kempo (405th class) and racquetball.

The Power of Art

Art has the power to "heal the soul, inspire, and inspire."

Committed to quality

A work planned, produced and sold by Ayuwara. Made with high-quality art paper that feels like drawing paper. Rich color reproduction allows delicate colors to be faithfully reproduced. It is not photographic paper, giving it a mysterious impression that makes you wonder whether it is a painting or a photograph. The paper is not glossy and does not reflect light, so fluorescent light does not make the work difficult to see. We also paid particular attention to color reproduction. Color adjustments can be made precisely using the latest technology. Each piece is produced using digital printing, which allows for accurate color reproduction. Quality is checked, and those that pass are embossed with Ayuwara's seal to complete the work.

A simple frame that enhances the picture

This frame is made from natural wood. The natural finish does not obscure the wood grain. The simple color and shape make the picture stand out. This is a classic frame that suits modern homes well. Developed in collaboration with a frame manufacturer. This is an Ayuwara original frame.

Frame color can be changed

The frame color will be the same as the artwork image. You can change it if you wish. You can choose from white, natural, brown, or black. If you have a preference, please write "XX frame desired" in the comments section when placing your order.

How to choose the color of a picture frame

We are often asked, "What color is best for a picture frame?" There are two ways to choose. The first is to choose a frame that matches the picture. Darker pictures should be paired with darker frames, and lighter pictures with lighter frames. A white frame is recommended for cooler colors, and a natural frame for warmer colors. The second is to choose a frame that matches the color of the room. Choose a frame color that matches the color of the floor and furniture. If the room is decorated with white floors and furniture, choose a white frame; if the floors and furniture are natural, choose a natural frame; if the floors and furniture are dark, choose a brown frame; and if the room is monochromatic, choose a black frame.
