Typical Price
A Kyoto temple scene characterized by Saito's distinctive use of strong vertical and horizontal architectural elements against a muted background. Early-numbered impressions bring $700-$2,000, with later pulls at $350-$900. The contemplative stillness of Saito's temple compositions makes them enduringly popular with collectors of sosaku-hanga.
