"Haori Daruma" is a notable work by Okumura Masanobu, a prominent Japanese printmaker and painter from the Edo period. Masanobu was instrumental in the development of the *ukiyo-e* genre, which depicted the "floating world" of ephemeral pleasures and fleeting beauty in urban Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Born around 1686 and active until his death in 1764, Masanobu was a pioneer in the use of multiple colors in printing and played a crucial role in the evolution of Japanese woodblock printing techniques.

The piece "Haori Daruma" is a woodblock print that showcases Masanobu's innovative approach to *ukiyo-e*. The artwork depicts Daruma (Bodhidharma), the legendary founder of Zen Buddhism, enveloped in a haori, a traditional Japanese hip- or thigh-length kimono-like jacket. This representation is significant for its blend of religious iconography with the contemporary fashion of the Edo period, reflecting Masanobu's skill in merging traditional themes with modern aesthetics. The print is characterized by its detailed line work and the use of limited color, typical of the *ukiyo-e* style prior to the full development of polychrome printing (nishiki-e) later in the 18th century.

"Haori Daruma" is not only a testament to Okumura Masanobu's artistic skill and innovative techniques but also provides insight into the cultural and religious milieu of Edo Japan. Through this work, Masanobu contributes to the rich tapestry of *ukiyo-e* art, offering a unique lens through which to view the interplay between Buddhism, fashion, and popular culture in the period. As such, "Haori Daruma" holds a place of significance in the study of Japanese art and the history of *ukiyo-e*, representing a pivotal moment in the evolution of this quintessentially Japanese art form.
