Signed + drawing; Tadao Ando - HILL OF THE BUDDHA - 2016

This publication, issued by the Tadao Ando Architect & Associates office, is a beautifully produced monograph presenting two of Ando’s most iconic works in Hokkaido:

Hill of the Buddha (Atama Daibutsuden) at Makomanai Takino Cemetery

Church on the Water, Ando’s first architectural project in Hokkaido

Printed entirely in full color, the book documents both the architecture and the complete design and construction process, offering rare insight into Ando’s conception of space, light, and landscape. Through drawings, models, site photographs, and detailed project records, readers can follow the evolution of these two masterpieces from idea to completion.

What makes this copy especially valuable is that it comes with an original signature and drawing by Tadao Ando — a highly sought-after addition for collectors of contemporary architecture and Japanese design.

A refined, museum-quality volume and an exceptional collectible for admirers of Tadao Ando’s work.
