The story behind the photo:

This photo, "Ume, Kyoto" is part of Series 1: "The Contour of Things".

Long before the first signs of spring, ume, plum blossoms, display their delicate petals in the gardens of Kyōto. Less photographed than their sakura cousins, they have the shyness of those to whom we forget to tell that they are marvellously beautiful.

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.
