In this modern art print, two bonzes are represented during a Buddhist religious ceremony. The black and gray palette is very broad.
Bónzo , literally " master of the cell " or, according to others, boshi , i.e. " master of the law ", is the title given to religious men who have completed their formation. The term Buddhist monk appears for the first time in the West, in a letter written by St. Francesco Saverio in 1549.
