Bodhidharma (Daruma) by Fujita Yooku is a hand-carved wooden figure with a rounded, grounded presence and a quietly focused expression.
Carved from hinoki (Japanese cypress), the surface keeps the warmth and softness of natural wood, and the simplified form is shaped to feel steady and unforced in the space around it.
About this piece
This work is carved by hand in Japan from a single block of hinoki, with the grain and subtle tool marks allowed to remain part of the finish. The model follows the long-established Daruma sculptural tradition—compact, seated, and pared back—reinterpreted here through Fujita Yooku’s contemporary Buddhist sculpture practice. This kind of form developed within Zen-related lineages and workshop traditions as a distilled portrait type, made to be direct and enduring rather than decorative.
Cultural note
In Japan, Bodhidharma (Daruma) is widely recognized through Zen tradition as the ancestral figure associated with zazen and steadfast resolve, and his image appears both in temple settings and in everyday culture. As a Buddhist figure, it is generally approached with a respectful, quiet intention—placed where it can be seen without being treated as a casual ornament, and handled with clean hands and a calm mindset. Many people avoid placing such images directly on the floor or in cluttered areas, choosing a stable, cared-for spot that reflects consideration.
