Flowing clouds

It is said that birds muse upon the clouds flowing across the sky.
However, if you put yourself in the place of the observer,
a different perspective emerges.

The phrase "shifting clouds" describes how clouds constantly change shape,
and this expresses how your thoughts and feelings also
continuously change.

I first created the haiku and then built the artwork based on its meaning.

I believe that this beautiful illustration combined with the English haiku
will further convey the world of the artwork.

飽きもせず　空を見上げて　雲の顔

●English Haiku

looking at the sky

endless shapes of shifting clouds—

never-ending thoughts

Simply adding this English haiku to your thoughts,
transforms a single image into a sophisticated piece,
like a scene from a picture book or a collection of poems.

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.
