$500–$5,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Tajima's powerful abstract prints have appeal among both Japanese print and modern art collectors.
"Prayer" is one of Tajima's most spiritually direct titles, suggesting ritual address to a force beyond the self — an act of supplication rendered through abstract form. The compositional language may invoke the upward gesture of prayer through vertical marks or ascending color fields, or the meditative stillness of the act through a minimal, concentrated composition. The work connects Tajima's abstract practice to the broader tradition of Japanese spiritual art.
