AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This magnificent and imposing Kokeshi Sosaku represents the emblematic and traditional figure of Daruma, the monk Bodhidharma.
This popular artwork is a premium creation attributed to the famous master craftsman Shido Shozan (1932-1995), one of the most influential artists of the post-war creative kokeshi movement and holder of prestigious national prizes in Japan.
The design of this unique piece captures with remarkable force the very spiritual essence of Daruma. The face is superbly expressive with its large eyes raised to the sky, its bushy eyebrows painted by hand and its finely detailed beard. The torso features as well as the drapery of his red traditional robe are executed with a dynamic and fluid brush technique, bearing witness to the artist's exceptional style and craftsmanship.
Crafted from high-quality solid wood, probably Japanese dogwood, this sculpture dates from the mid-Showa period, around the 1970s.
Dimensions:
H 17.5 x D 7.5 cm
In Japanese tradition, the Daruma is a very powerful talisman embodying perseverance, success and household protection ("Fall seven times, stand up eight").
