The doll, Maiso, is a type of Shigaraki ware. Maiso represents a form of meditation in Japan, where people aim to calm down and relax without thinking too much. Originally, it was a kind of training for Japanese monks, but nowadays, people practice it for their health. Some companies even incorporate meditation time during work hours.

In this artwork, a boy monk is depicted practicing meditation. His face appears relaxed. If you decorate your room with this doll, it can create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for your family.
