Description

"Phoenix Rising" captures the timeless beauty of Byōdō-in’s Phoenix Hall in Uji, Japan. I took this picture in February of 2024 during my annual journey to Japan. The Phoenix Hall is the main attraction of temple complex, which was built back in 1053 during the Heian period. During this time, Japanese art, culture and architecture were flourishing.


The building gets its name from the two bronze phoenix statues that adorn its roof and the structure itself is said to resemble a phoenix with outstretched wings. The Phoenix is a symbol of renewal and immortality - while Byōdō-in may not be immortal the complex has stood the test of time - remaining intact for nearly 1000 years - surviving natural diasters and wars alike.

Capturing this scene, without the hoardes of sight-seers required a lot of waiting and patience. Yet spending time there was strangely soothing. Like so many temples in Japan, there is a palpable timelessness that rings of another age. "Phoenix Rising" is a place where time slows down and the spirit of an ancient culture can shine through.

Print Specifications

Your fine art photography is printed on metallic fine art paper to create stunning, gallery-quality prints. We use Lexjet Sunset Metallic paper, known for its exceptional depth and vibrant colors, ensuring that the print reflects the true beauty of the original scene.

Each print is reverse-mounted on high-quality clear 1/4" acrylic, enhancing vibrancy, color accuracy, and longevity—no fading here. The clear-cast acrylic brings out a 3-D or back-lit effect, especially when properly lit, as light refracts within the acrylic, creating remarkable brilliance. The diamond-polished edges add a sleek, see-through finish, and each print is backed with dibond for added protection and rigidity.

Our frameless acrylic face mount offers a modern, floating display that complements any wall. Each piece comes ready to hang with mounting hardware. Proudly printed in Seattle, WA, every artwork is crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
