Hakuin Ekaku was a renowned Zen master and artist who utilized his artistic skills to communicate spiritual messages and teachings. During the Edo period in Japan, he was one of the most significant figures in Zen Buddhism and is recognized for his efforts to revive the Rinzai school of Zen. Hakuin's emphasis on koans and the development of an intuitive perception of reality were instrumental in this revival.

The artwork in question exemplifies Hakuin's later style, characterized by thickly brushed, gray-to-black-toned calligraphy typical of his later years. The painting depicts Bodhidharma (also known as Daruma), the founder of Zen Buddhism, in a bold, simple, and powerful manner. It reflects Hakuin's deep admiration and respect for Bodhidharma as the founder of Zen Buddhism.
