"As the sounds of Obon drums begin to ring out in the twilight hours of the small park, children in yukatas form a circle around a lit tower and begin to dance, enjoying the evenings of summer vacation that are soon to end. As if lured by the sounds of the drums, the autumn wind sways the lanterns beside the tower and creeps up to the dancing children's arms.

After the peak season for corn, watermelons, and melons has passed, apples begin to change color. The once bustling seaside has regained its tranquility, and the only sound left is the autumn sea, with only the sound of waves lapping on the sand. The white sails of a yacht floating offshore still retain a faint remnant of summer."

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this artwork original? How is it framed?

Check the "Technique" field above:

Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, or Fabric — a unique, one-of-a-kind original, delivered to us directly by the artist and framed in California.

Handmade Woodblock Print, Silkscreen, Etching, or Lithograph — an original print. The artist carved or cut the matrix and pulled each impression by hand; there is no painting it was copied from. Each is signed and numbered by the artist within a limited edition.

Fine Art Print, Giclée, Canvas Print, or Metal Print — a high-quality, museum-grade reproduction of an original work fabricated here in San Francisco.

Check the "Framing" field above for this piece.

The design is our own — museum-grade, archival, and always real wood, never veneer or composite.

The species suits the work — cherry, ash, maple, oak, poplar, or hinoki cypress. Chosen per artist, not to a house style.

Where it's made — Kuriyagawa's and Namiki's frames are made in Japan. Everything else is framed in the United States, from hardwood milled by a third-generation family workshop that supplies exhibition frames to museums.

Every piece arrives ready to hang, with hardware and a level included.

Can you help me visualize the artwork? How do I buy an artwork I like?

Send us a photo of your wall and we'll place the artwork into it, to scale, so you can see exactly how it looks in your room. No charge, no obligation.

Want to see more? We'll send a video of the piece from every angle. Email us — or see examples on our YouTube channel.

Add to Cart and check out securely on the site. We take credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Shop Pay.

Or just email us. We'll answer any questions and send an invoice — no account needed.

Can you help me install the artwork? What's your return policy?

In the SF Bay Area — yes, in person. We'll deliver and hang it for you, free of charge. Just ask.

Anywhere else — every package includes what you need: hanging hardware, a level, and a microfiber cloth. Everything arrives ready to hang.

30 days, no questions asked — on original paintings and on original prints. Return it in its original condition and we'll issue a full refund, less return shipping.

The one exception — fine art prints and giclées are made to order for you, so those sales are final.
