Handmade Japanese linocut of daruma

Size 21 x 21 cm

Description

This linocut depicts the tangle of daruma, emblematic figures and good luck charms of the Japanese.

Daruma are wooden figurines representing a Buddhist monk with closed eyes. They are considered good luck charms and are often purchased by people wishing to make a wish come true. For the wish to be granted, it is necessary to paint an eye on the daruma. Once the vow has been fulfilled, the other eye must be painted and the daruma returned or burned at the temple where it was purchased.

In temples such as Shorinzan Daruma-ji or Katsuo-ji, you’ll see countless daruma dotted around.

Personally, I love and collect these daruma in all their forms. That’s also why I wanted to dedicate this linocut to them and show the daruma from an unusual angle.

Travel to the heart of Japan through my linocuts

Travel to the heart of Japan through my linocuts

My linocuts are directly inspired by my travels in Japan. Fascinated by this country, its enchanting landscapes and rich culture, I create works that capture the essence of places that have made a deep impression on me. My creations reflect the diversity of Japanese landscapes, from the mystical beauty of its temples to the elegance of its maiko. Each theme is carefully chosen by myself and Sophie to offer an authentic and captivating representation of Japanese culture, and thus share with you a unique vision of this fascinating country.

Handcrafted, Japanese-inspired packaging

Each linocut is accompanied by smooth, thick paper, protected by transparent plastic film and, for larger formats, a rigid cardboard sleeve. It is then delicately placed in a handmade origami by Sophie, representing an authentic Japanese kimono.

To guarantee impeccable delivery and preserve the beauty of your work, we pack it in a rigid cardboard box, ensuring that it arrives in perfect condition. What’s more, each linocut is accompanied by a tracking number that we send you by e-mail, enabling you to follow your order right through to receipt.

Don’t forget to add the gift-wrapping option: handmade paper adorned with kumiko motifs, perfect for offering a touch of Japanese elegance.
