The story behind the photo:

This photograph, "Behind the Window, Kyoto" is part of Series 1: "The Contour of Things".

From upstairs, you can make out the street, and hidden behind the sudare windows that open in the wind, a poetic Kyōto unfolds before my eyes: dressed-up maiko getting out of their okiya and hurrying off in taxis; children running around laughing, schoolbags on their backs; shopkeepers on their doorsteps; and tourists on the go, astonished to discover this perfect street, the quintessence of the Japanese imagination.

Series 1: "The Contour of Things

"The poet's pen draws the outline of things and gives a name to what is nothing " William Shakespeare

The curious eye sees, the photograph captures, and the words try to tell the story behind it all, a story often invented and fantasised, which connects us to the beauty of the world in general and that of Asia in particular. This 'contour of things' is like a universal language.

Laurence, the founder of Atelier Ikiwa, brings back photos from her wanderings around Asia, with her eye for detail and the emotion of the world, which she captures on the spot, for the feelings that the scenes she sees bring and to keep a trace of them for the memory.

Shipment takes a maximum of 10 working days (prints and frames are made on request). Framed prints are carefully packaged and dispatched.
