About the Item

This 19th-century Japanese bronze Daruma statue is a striking and contemplative representation of Bodhidharma, the revered founder of Zen Buddhism. Cast in bronze with exceptional detail, the figure is shown in deep meditation, his robe flowing around him in soft, natural folds that emphasize stillness and spiritual focus. The Daruma’s face, marked by intense expression and stylized features, reflects the discipline and asceticism associated with Zen practice. This piece exemplifies the artistry of the Meiji period bronze work, where spiritual themes were masterfully rendered in metal. The statue bears a maker’s signature on the inside an uncommon and notable detail that enhances its authenticity and value. The inner signature suggests it was crafted by a skilled artisan or studio, possibly for a temple or a patron deeply devoted to Zen Buddhism. Rich in dark patina from age, the bronze surface has matured beautifully, giving the statue a warm, timeless quality. Whether displayed in a private collection or a spiritual space, this meditating Daruma is not only a powerful symbol of perseverance and enlightenment, but also a refined example of Japanese metalwork tradition. It invites quiet reflection and appreciation for the enduring legacy of Zen iconography.
