• Notes:
  These three little sculptures have been on my bedroom shelf for decades where they have been greatly enjoyed. Daruma is the Japanese name of Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk from southern India, who according legend was the founder of the Chan school in China, a contemplative offshoot of the Mahayana which became the Zen school in Japan. He is often depicted as a bearded, somewhat hirsute monk with big-eyes and bushy eyebrows, and a stern expression.
