(2827) At the source #17: The epilogue

Nihon_arekore_02856_Shorinzan_Daruma_Zenga_100_cl

The painting style using themes from Zen Buddhism, is called "zenga" (禅画) and Daruma's portraits are one of the most characteristic such themes. These ones are made in Shorinzan and you can buy them --I didn't get one but this gives me a reason to go again. As if I needed one!
