A World Heritage settlement nestled in a mountain valley and Japan’s quintessential landscape

A mountain landscape overlooking the village of Shirakawa-go in Shirakawa Village, Ono District, Gifu Prefecture. In the valley surrounded by forested mountains, traditional houses, farmland, and roads spread out, forming a tranquil landscape unique to mountain villages. Ogimachi, the central village of Shirakawa-go, is a historic settlement that developed on the river terraces along the Sho River. Because it is surrounded by steep mountains and receives heavy snowfall in winter, it has nurtured its own unique lifestyle and architectural culture. In particular, the gassho-style houses with steeply pitched thatched roofs are traditional buildings deeply connected to adapting to heavy snow and local industries such as sericulture. Shirakawa-go, along with the villages of Ainokura and Suganuma in Gokayama, Toyama Prefecture, was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1995. Not only the buildings, but also the cultural landscape of the entire area, including farmland, forests, and waterways, is carefully preserved. It is one of Japan's representative historic mountain village landscapes where the natural environment and people's lives coexist in harmony.

Born in 1978 and residing in Tokyo.

I am involved in creating spaces that connect people through local recreational activities. In doing so, I incorporate reminiscence therapy, where people enjoy conversations while admiring the scenery. Drawn to the "healing power" of nature and landscapes, I continue to photograph them.

Focusing on aerial photography with drones and natural landscapes, I deliver works that gently resonate with daily life and soften the heart. I aim to capture landscapes that serve as an impetus for people to connect and for smiles to spread.

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.
