The doll is based on the Bodhidharma, who brought the Zen school of
Bhuddism from India to China.
Here is one website with pictures and info:

and two books I used are Floating Lanterns and Golden Shrines -
Celebrating Japanese Festivals by Rena Krasno, and
Traditional Crafts from Japan, by Florence Temko.
