This is less about artistic skill and more about mental focus. Using a carving knife to shape a small block of wood into a Daruma doll requires a quiet, steady attention that clears the mind. Consider it a form of active meditation. Surrounded by the scent of fresh wood chips, you engage in a simple, repetitive task that leaves you with a tangible reflection of your patience.
