Aside from their unparalleled grace and elegance, and supernaturally attractive faces and figures, there is little way to differentiate them from ordinary women. They wear beautiful gowns called hagoromo (literally “feather cloth”), which allow them to fly.

Kitsune: The Japanese Fox of Yōkai Japanese Folklore -- In the Japanese Ukiyo-e, an illustration of a fox-like creature known for its intelligence and shape-shifting abilities

This illustration theme is fierceness. The condition of a person when violent emotions overshadow the magnificence of the human mind. Just like the gauzy clouds veiling the moon. And the question is whether a person can get out? Will the clouds pass by, and the moon appears, or it will completely obscure the light of reason? Like in the concept of Noh theatre, the three masks symbolize different reasons and different degrees of a person's fierceness. This design shows the borderline state and the edge that a person absorbed by violent emotions passes through. On the one hand, it is frightening, and on the other hand, it is Yūgen - the transcendent beauty of human suffering.

Daruma adalah boneka sekaligus mainan asal Jepang dengan bentuk hampir bulat, dengan bagian dalam yang kosong serta tidak memiliki kaki dan tangan. Model dari benda ini adalah Bodhidharma, pendiri dari Zen. Boneka ini merupakan pembawa keberuntungan dan lambang harapan yang belum tercapai. Daruma dijual dengan kedua belah mata yang belum digambar. Orang yang ingin harapan atau cita-citanya terkabul menggambar salah satu sisi dari kedua matanya dengan kuas dan tinta. Bila harapan orang tersebut sudah tercapai, daruma akan menerima mata yang satunya lagi. Di Jepang, produsen boneka daruma terbesar ada di kota Takasaki, Prefektur Gunma.

Hope you like it.

Kitsune minimalist Neon design by ISC Productions

A Daruma doll (Japanese: 達磨, Hepburn: daruma) is a hollow, round, Japanese traditional doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen tradition of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting a bearded man (Bodhidharma), vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist. Though considered a toy by some, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese. Daruma dolls are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular gift of encouragement. The doll has also been commercialized by many Buddhist temples to use alongside the setting of goals.
