This beautifully produced volume documents the celebrated architectural project “Hill of the Buddha” in Sapporo, Japan — one of Tadao Ando’s most poetic and spiritually resonant works. Through striking photographs, plans, and essays in both English and Japanese, the book reveals Ando’s design philosophy, his creative process, and the unique integration of architecture, nature, and spirituality that defines this monumental site. What makes this particular copy truly exceptional is that it has been personally signed by Tadao Ando and includes an original hand-drawn colored sketch by the architect himself — a rare and highly sought-after collector’s item for admirers of modern architecture and Ando’s artistic vision worldwide. A must-have for design professionals, collectors, and those who appreciate the intersection of art, architecture, and the human spirit. Condition: Aside from a small stain on the spine, the book is in very good condition overall. It comes with its obi and original non-woven bag (slightly soiled). A complete set of these accessories is rare, making it a particularly valuable book for collectors.
