Japanese Antique Wood Carving Daruma 1860s-1900s / Sculpture Mingei Wabisabi

About the Item

Very old Japanese wooden Daruma doll. It was made during the Meiji period (1860s-1900s). The material is cedar wood. This wooden mould is the prototype of the Daruma doll. Many Daruma dolls were mass-produced using this wooden form. Although they have outlived their usefulness, they have become established as wonderful works of art. A very valuable object that evokes the sensibility of wabi-sabi. Weight 1.2 kg.
