Daruma - Job Done

Posted by Stu (Kyoto, Japan) on 1 April 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

This little figure is called Daruma. Daruma is something you buy or are given when you are facing a task. When you start the task you paint in one of the eyes. Then when the task is done you paint the other eye. This one was in a temple lantern and I liked the contrast of colours and how it looked so out of place there.

Thanks for the visit!
