Offering: An important Tadao Ando text with an original, signed architectural sketch, done without inscription for an unnamed recipient. Ando's signature is a beautiful example of shodo (calligraphy), the capital A like a roof structure-incorporated into the open base of the drawing-the n and d like a wave pattern, the o akin to an enso. Edition Note: selected from his 1997-99 lectures on 20th century architecture given at the University of Tokyo, in Japanese, some illustration captions in English, the independently published volume i of two volumes, the second volume published as "Rensen renpai" in 2001. Presentation Drawing: 152 x 227 mm, done in pastel with two shades of green and two shades of blue on the thistle endpaper.
