23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, crowds of people gather at Senso-Ji Temple in the historic district of Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan, engaging in the ancient tradition of burning incense as an act of worship and meditation. The air is thick with the fragrant smoke rising from the charcoal braziers, carrying the prayers and wishes of the faithful up to the heavens. Senso-Ji Temple, one of Tokyo's most famous and historically significant Buddhist temples, is a place of pilgrimage for both locals and tourists alike. The temple complex, which dates back over a thousand years, is dedicated to the goddess of mercy, Kannon, and is renowned for its stunning architecture, intricate decorations, and peaceful atmosphere. As visitors approach the main hall, they make their way through the bustling Nakamise shopping street, lined with traditional souvenir shops and food stalls. Here, they can purchase bundles of incense sticks and paper prayers, which they will later offer at the temple. Once inside the temple grounds, the crowds disperse, each person finding their own quiet spot to light their incense and offer their prayers. The air is filled with the sweet, aromatic scent of burning incense, and the soft sound of chanting and prayer can be heard throughout the temple complex. This image captures the essence of the spiritual experience at Senso-Ji Temple, where the past meets the present, and the hustle and bustle of modern city life gives way to a moment of peace and reflection. The crowds of people, each lost in their own thoughts and prayers, come together in a shared moment of worship and devotion, creating a truly magical and unforgettable atmosphere.
