Japanese antique daruma statue ceramic buddhist Zen master doll ornament made pottery , Japanese Zen monk doll H3×3in/H7.6×7.7in.

This is a figurine modeled after Daruma, a Zen master, made of unglazed pottery.
It has a sharp, piercing gaze, but there is also something cute about it. Its small size also adds to its charm.
It is very old, dating back to the late Edo period, so there are some chips on the surface due to age, but this gives it a deep color and makes it look cool.
The motif "Daruma" is a Buddhist monk who introduced Buddhism from India to China.
It was made by imitating the appearance of "Daruma " "座禅zazen".
"zazen" is to correct the posture by cross-legging and unite the spirit at the border of relentless dreaming.
