Description

Vintage Japanese Daruma Figure Okimono - 1950s Showa Era (25D-146) (SKU 25D-146)

Showa-era bronze figure of a robed Daruma, rich with timeworn patina.

This expressive vintage Japanese figure is cast as a standing monk or rakan, wrapped tightly in flowing robes that pool around his bare feet. The sculptor has captured a wonderfully human expression—part stern, part contemplative—typical of mid-Showa interpretations of Buddhist imagery, while the dark bronze surface has mellowed to warm chestnut and olive tones.

Designed to stand on a butsudan altar, tokonoma, or as a distinctive accent in a wabi-sabi interior. Subtle casting marks, tiny pits, and color variations in the patina speak to age and use, enhancing the piece’s quiet presence and making it an ideal addition to a collection of Japanese bronze or Buddhist art.

  • Origin: Japan

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
