Daruma Skull - by LowTiki & Munktiki - for Ohana Is Dead
in 2 collections
Little contemporary biographical information on Daruma (Bodhidharma) is extant, and subsequent accounts became layered with legend. According to one tradition, Bodhidharma gained a reputation for, among other things, his practice of wall-gazing. Legend claims that he sat facing a wall in meditation for a period of nine years without moving, which caused his legs and arms to fall off from atrophy. This explains the weeble-wobble look of this mug. Traditionally, Daruma toys are weighted like weeble-wobbles and people fill in one pupil on his blank-eyed stare when they have a goal and the second pupil when they have fulfilled the goal.
From Ohana Is Dead:
"Our Daruma Skull collaboration with @lowtiki and @munktiki is ready for you! Here are the release details:
