This print captures the calm of Daikon-dera, a Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Here Saitō uses textured surfaces, darker colors, and simple shapes to balance nature and architecture. Blending Japanese tradition with modern styles, Saitō creates a scene that feels both familiar and fresh, encouraging one to pause and reflect on the temple’s serene presence. This type of print was particularly popular with Americans, who appreciated Saitō’s depictions of Japanese architecture and culture.Label Type
