White cranes in the valley of buildings, in the curtain of night

「夜の帳（とばり）ビルの谷間の白き鶴」

英語俳句
night's dark curtain—
between the city towers
a white crane descends

「夜の帳」が街を包む静寂を生み、「ビルの谷間」という都会的な硬質さの中に、「白き鶴」が現れることで、現実と幻想の境界が曖昧になります。
この違和感こそが、この俳句の魅力です。

The "veil of night" creates a silence that envelops the city, and the appearance of a "white crane" amidst the hard, urban landscape of "canyons of buildings" blurs the boundary between reality and fantasy. It is precisely this sense of incongruity that gives the haiku its appeal.

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.
