Clear water, fresh breezes and fresh greenery

This was my second time. Since November 2022. Doshi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture. About an hour from Midori Ward, Sagamihara City. Driving along Doshi Highway. Turn left at the Doshi Onsen sign. Entering the mountain path. Passing Doshi Onsen and crossing a narrow bridge large enough for one car, I arrived at a forest road. After about 20 minutes, the road was closed to cars. Strangely, there was a parking space. For some reason, there was a love bell hanging there, a symbol of a tourist spot in the mountains. Or perhaps it was to ward off wild animals? As usual, I had my camera bag on my back, a tripod in my left hand, and walking sticks in my right. I found what appeared to be a nearly collapsed staircase. After about 20 steps, I arrived at a large rock. I wasn't at the bottom yet. There was an aluminum ladder casually hanging from a tree stump. It swayed back and forth when I stepped on it. It was a thrilling experience. Finally, I reached the rock at the bottom of the valley. Silence. No one around. The only sound was the rushing water. It crashed against the rocks, splashing. The water was crystal clear and cold. I was extremely careful not to slip off the rocks. I set up my tripod and camera. Now, will I be able to capture something?
Gentle wind. Gentle sun. Thank you.

Ken Segawa

Born in Hansaka, Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture, in 1947. A young skier, he won the giant slalom at the Fukushima Prefecture Junior High School Championships in alpine skiing. However, due to his parents' work, he moved to snowless Ibaraki Prefecture, where he gave up skiing. At university, he was persuaded to join the ski club. He competed in the All-Japan Student Championships and the National Athletic Meet, but after a long break, he truly gave up. A life in the making came to an end. He took up photography at the urging of his boarding house owner. He learned how to develop and print black-and-white film, taking photos of natural landscapes around town. After graduating from university, he worked as a contract employee in the advertising department of a major department store. While he mostly worked in studios, he wasn't interested in commercial photography. He later worked in production for theater companies, as a driver for a costume company, and as a costume photographer. After that, he did a lot of different things, but he's still alive today. My current photography focuses on the theme of "wind," and I run around the fields and mountains trying to capture the wind in between physical labor.

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.
