Story Behind the Piece

The Daruma originates from Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, and has long been associated with determination and unwavering focus.

Traditionally, Daruma dolls are used as goal-setting tools — one eye is filled in when a goal is set, and the other when it is achieved.

By incorporating elements of Kabuki theatre, this piece takes on a more expressive and dramatic presence, symbolising not only perseverance, but also identity, performance, and inner strength.

歌舞伎達磨（Kabuki Daruma） represents the journey of discipline and self-expression — a reminder that strength can be both quiet and bold.
