Typical Price

Ryoanji's legendary rock garden, perhaps Japan's most famous Zen landscape, receives an austere treatment befitting its meditative purpose. Prices range from $500-$1,500, with early impressions toward the top. The minimalist subject aligns perfectly with Saito's reductive aesthetic, making this a natural pairing of artist and subject.

Description

The famous rock garden at Ryoanji temple, its minimal composition perfectly suited to Saito's reductive aesthetic.
