This is a hanging scroll of a Daruma ink painting. It would be nice as a hanging scroll for the New Year at the beginning of the year. Inscription: Facing the Wall This painting is based on the story of Daruma, who reached enlightenment after nine years of arduous asceticism. It is an auspicious Buddhist painting depicting the Indian high priest Daruma Daishi, who reached enlightenment after nine long years of facing the wall in arduous asceticism. There are some stains and yellowing due to aging, but there is no problem with displaying it. It is thought to be from China, but the details are unknown. It is a very large and magnificent hanging scroll. The painting is also wonderful, but it is too large for my house and there is no place to display it, so I would be happy to pass it on to someone who can.
