Small enough for a desk or a narrow shelf, this blue Kutani ware Daruma stands 5.2 cm (2.0 in) high. A dense Hanazume floral design covers the rounded porcelain body on a pale blue ground, in the five Kutani colors of red, green, yellow, purple and navy, with gold-tone outlines around the white face and through the pattern.
The pattern continues across the back rather than stopping at the front, so the decoration reads from any angle.
