Spoiler alert: reveals completed jigsaw puzzle
White Clouds and Crimson Trees by Tanomura Chokunyu. 155 pieces. Made by Artifact Puzzles.
Despite the small number of pieces, the nature of the picture and the design made this a fun challenge (approx. one 45-minute session with two people).
The design is based on one of the pentagonal tiling patterns discovered by amateur mathematician Marjorie Rice.
Another one done during an (ongoing) multi-day power outage.

The story of Marjorie Rice (1923-2017) was an inspiration. With no formal education, all she knew was her scriptures, but curiosity made her investigate the science of tesselation of the plane, and her discovery was big.
No matter how ignorant you are, you can still be recognized by the Academia.
