Black-and-White Photograph, 'Hida Village', 1980s – Wall Decoration, Japan.

This unique wall decoration features a large black-and-white print on photographic paper, carefully mounted on a wooden frame.

Dimensions: height 37.5 cm, width 51 cm, depth 2 cm.

The photograph captures an old, traditional Japanese farmhouse, enveloped in a mysterious play of light and shadow. A figure, possibly a tourist, is faintly visible as they step into the farmhouse, their presence barely discernible in the darkness. The image creates a fascinating contrast between the past and the present, with the traditional Japanese farmhouse serving as the backdrop for a modern-day traveler.

This exceptional piece is part of a series of photographs created as a final project by a Japanese college student in the 1980s. It is an artistic and valuable work that adds a subtle Japanese touch to any interior, evoking a mystical and timeless atmosphere.

The back features a yellow label with the title, the photographer's name, and the camera, film, and settings used.
