Shimizu Kosho | Painting

An impressive portrait of Daruma with the promising inscription, The Seven Fortunes Rotate in Succession. - Signed and sealed by Shimizu Kosho. The sentence suggests that one’s fortune may change over time, and that times of hardship will be followed by times of happiness. It’s a reminder to remain hopeful during difficult times and to stay grounded during moments of success.
