Zen Daruma Painting on Shikishi – Japanese Zenga, Showa Era
$135.84 $150.93
A powerful ink portrait of Daruma (Bodhidharma), the legendary founder of Zen Buddhism, painted on traditional shikishi board (24×27 cm). The work bears the red seal 南岳 (Nangaku) – likely the art name (gō) of the artist, echoing the long Zen tradition.
Created in the mid‑Showa period, this piece embodies the spontaneous spirit of zenga – the Zen painting style marked by bold brushstrokes and meditative simplicity. The black ink is applied with confident strokes for the robe, while the face is rendered with delicate shading, giving Daruma a serene yet penetrating expression.
The shikishi board shows natural aging with scattered foxing, emphasizing its vintage authenticity. A fine addition for collectors of Zen art, Japanese calligraphy, or sumi‑e painting.
