Night at the Okunoin Cemetery Fine Art Print

Mount Koya (Koya-san / Koyasan) is a large temple settlement, a sacred Buddhist retreat and UNESCO World Heritage site in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan to the south of Osaka, where travellers can stay overnight at a temple, experience prayer rituals and discover the area beyond. No visit to Koya is complete until you've had a chance to make your way around Okunoin Cemetery. Okunoin (Oku-no-in) is the site of the mausoleum of Kobo Daishi (also known as Kukai), the founder of Shingon Buddhism and one of the most revered persons in the religious history of Japan. If visiting the Okunoin graveyard with light is interesting, after dawn it becomes one of the most impressive experiences you could have. A night time visit provides a special atmosphere that is quite different from that of a day time visit, but note that some parts of the path are poorly lit. The lamps illuminating the cemetery are now the main light source, and create a mysterious and very photogenic environment.

Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.

I want you to love your print.

Please note: final print colors may look slightly different than on your screen due to monitor variations - but the print will always be more beautiful in person!

Most orders are printed and shipped within 7 - 14 days, depending on the destination. Express options may be available on request.

Select a size that balances with your wall and furniture. A good guideline is for the artwork to cover about half to two-thirds of the width of the furniture it hangs above.

Keep the print away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources. Museum-grade framing and UV-protective glass will ensure it lasts for generations.
