What printer and inks do you use?
We print using Canon imagePROGRAF PRO large-format printers, chosen specifically for their exceptional colour accuracy, sharp detail, and consistency across both fine art and photographic work. These professional printers are paired with archival Canon LUCIA 12-colour pigment inks, a premium ink system designed to produce rich tonal depth, smooth gradients, and highly accurate colour reproduction, particularly in subtle shades and complex artwork. The 12-colour ink set allows for a much wider colour range than standard printing systems, helping us achieve deeper blacks, cleaner neutrals, and more natural transitions in everything from bold contemporary designs to delicate fine art prints. Just as importantly, these pigment-based inks are archival quality, meaning they are designed for long-term durability and excellent resistance to fading when properly displayed. We use one of the highest-quality professional printing systems available because it lets us produce artwork that looks impressive when you first receive it and keeps its depth, clarity, and colour integrity over time.
Is the artwork ready to hang?
Yes — stretched canvas, floating framed canvas,and framed prints arrive ready to hang straight on the wall. Please note that overseas orders, particularly to the US, may require fittings to be attached. They are included.

Yes, absolutely. We will be more than happy to create custom sizes for any of the artworks you see on the website. Feel free to contact us with the exact size you need, and we will provide a quote.
Am I able to come to your office to collect the artwork directly to save time and shipping
Absolutely, you are more than welcome to come to either of our facilities in Noosa, QLD, or Booragoo, Perth, WA. Please do, however, give us a call before coming so we can make sure someone is out front. We spend a lot of time out back around noisy machinery, so the front desk is not always manned.
Will I receive a proof for personalised art, and can I make changes
es — for all personalised artwork, we always send a digital proof before anything goes to print so you can see exactly how your design will look first. This gives you the chance to check wording, layout, colours, spelling, dates, locations or any other personal details before production begins. Proofs are usually sent within 48 hours of ordering, and very often much sooner, depending on the design and the time the order is placed. We know personalised artwork often carries important meaning, so we want customers to feel completely confident before the final print is produced. You are also very welcome to request changes once you receive the proof. In fact, we encourage it. If there is anything you would like adjusted, whether a small wording change or a more noticeable layout tweak, we encourage it. We continue refining the design until you are 100% happy with the result. Nothing is printed until you have approved the proof, which means you can order knowing there is still a chance to fine-tune the artwork before it is made.

Distant View of Akasaka Tameike by Hiroshige: A Window into Edo Japan

Hiroshige’s Distant View of Akasaka Tameike is a stunning example of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing, a genre that thrived during the Edo period. Known for his mastery in capturing landscapes, Hiroshige was a pioneer in presenting scenes of everyday life and nature with a blend of poetic beauty and realism. This particular artwork is part of his celebrated series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, a collection that documents iconic and picturesque locations in and around Tokyo (formerly Edo).

The composition of Distant View of Akasaka Tameike draws the viewer into a tranquil, rural scene. A path winds gently through the landscape, framed by tall grasses and distant hills. The Tameike pond is visible in the background, reflecting the soft hues of the sky, while subtle details, like the figures walking along the path, bring a sense of life and activity to the serene setting. Hiroshige’s ability to balance human presence with the grandeur of nature is a hallmark of his work, making this piece both dynamic and meditative.

One of the defining features of this print is Hiroshige’s use of perspective and colour. The foreground is detailed and vibrant, with lush greens and earthy tones, while the background fades into softer, cooler colours, creating a sense of depth and distance. This technique, influenced by Western art but uniquely adapted to Japanese aesthetics, was revolutionary at the time and added a three-dimensional quality to Hiroshige’s landscapes.

The Distant View of Akasaka Tameike also captures a moment in time, preserving the natural beauty and cultural essence of Edo-era Japan. The Tameike area, once a picturesque site with rice paddies and ponds, has since been transformed into an urban district in modern Tokyo. Hiroshige’s work serves as a historical snapshot, allowing contemporary audiences to glimpse a landscape that has long since disappeared. This blend of artistry and historical documentation is part of what makes his works so enduringly significant.

Hiroshige’s attention to atmospheric detail is another standout aspect of this piece. The subtle gradations in the sky hint at the time of day and season, evoking a mood of quiet reflection. The figures, though small, contribute to the narrative, suggesting themes of travel, connection, and the passage of time. This human element, combined with the natural setting, creates a harmonious balance that invites the viewer to step into the scene and imagine life in Edo Japan.

In Distant View of Akasaka Tameike, Hiroshige masterfully combines artistic innovation with a deep reverence for nature and daily life. The artwork is more than just a landscape; it is a meditation on the relationship between humanity and the natural world, as well as a preservation of cultural memory. Its serene beauty and timeless quality ensure its place as one of the masterpieces of Japanese art, resonating with viewers across centuries and cultures.
