Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
In the heart of Japan, where the past whispers through ancient trees and sacred deer roam freely, Nara stands as a living testament to the nation's rich history and cultural legacy. Once the imperial capital, Nara is a canvas where time has painted its strokes with precision.
The air is infused with a sense of reverence as you wander among the moss-covered stone lanterns and approach the majestic Todai-ji Temple. Here, the Great Buddha, a colossal bronze figure, serenely gazes upon visitors, embodying both the spiritual and artistic zenith of Japanese craftsmanship. Beyond the temple precincts, Nara Park unfolds—a vast, open expanse where nature and spirituality harmonize.
The gentle rustle of cherry blossoms in spring and the vivid palette of autumn leaves in fall create a seasonally evolving masterpiece. As you share the pathways with the sacred deer, regarded as divine messengers, there's a feeling that you've stepped into a realm where the boundary between the earthly and the divine is blurred.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
