A fine Vintage or Antique slip cast and glazed Tanba ware model of Daruma in original box. An off white partial glaze for his cloak over a natural brown clay body.
Tanba or Tamba ware comes from Hyogo prefecture near Kyoto and is considered one of the six ancient kilns of Japan.
Daruma is a very popular image in Japan. Based on Bodhidharma the monk that founded Zen Buddhism in Japan.
The image of Daruma is seen as a good luck simple, often given as gifts to bring luck to the recipient.
The description on the box reads:
“Foundations of the Five Teachings”
A Daruma figure
By the Hermit of Tokian
Made in Tanba
There is no date on the box, but I would date this to around mid 20th Century.
Measures 12.5cm wide x 10cm deep x 12.5cm tall









Let customers speak for us
from 25 reviewsI haven't been into Matcha that much before now. This, with a small amount of maple syrup to sweeten is a lovely way to start the day. I will buy again! Thank you

Item was as described and delivered quickly. Very happy with purchase.

Once again Kanso Houses package arrived in perfect condition. Inside wrapped with perfect care was the exquisite Iron Temple Dog Koro - Incense burner. Beautifully crafted, charmingly fun It is just perfect to me. Thank you Kanso House for your excellent taste and feel for the Japanese aesthetic .

Just as these Sakē Cups caught my eye online, they are having the same effect on people now they are in use at the dinner table. Along with their attractive appearance, their texture makes them comfortable to hold, and the lip feels right in contact with the mouth. I would probably have preferred the red cups, but because they were out of stock, I was happy to take three black ones, the only number available at the time. My plan is to buy more when they come back into syock.

The beauty that is Kanso House is they present items that are so unbelievably unique . This 'Yawning Daruma' is one such item . Such a treat to have in my home .

Delighted with this charming example of Japanese folk art. Otafuku's face and body is beautifully sculpted to form this hibachi. Arrived very carefully wrapped. Kanso House has a fine eye for quality objects. Thank you so much once again.

Love our new Japanese Bath Stool. Helps create a tranquil bathroom retreat.

A face only a parent could love… such a beautiful piece, with the celadon green done no justice by a photograph alone. Packaged with care, arrived in a timely fashion. Perched on my bookshelf next to a wonderful sake bottle I purchased alongside it.

This is my second purchase from Kanso House and I was so pleased with the first I came back for another. I have always liked the figure and story of Daikoku and was so pleased to see this very fine figure listed. The size is quite impressive and very nicely carved and has a lovely patina. The package arrived quickly and very professionally wrapped. Plus a nice note was enclosed. Thank you both for this handsome figure to add to my collection.

This blend of sandalwood is perfection. Subtle and fragrant. Beautifully presented on delivery. Bravo

I was intrigued by this temple , its story, its simplicity. I am thrilled with it in my home .

A beautiful little sculpture . I love purchasing from Kanso House. Always an enjoyable moment when I unwrap the delivery. Perfection

Beautiful Japanese calligraphy box! Thank you 😊

We've had our Hinoki stool for a couple of months now and it still brings a lovely cypress smell to the bathroom. It's the perfect size to sit on and dries fully overnight, no issues with dampness. It's lovely craftmanship and well worth the money.

Absolutley adore this item and equally adore Kanso House . Will be watching closely and purchasing more from
this lovley family run business on the Mornington Peninsual
