Below are two daruma made by Baba Masayuki an apprentice of Kozaburo Hasegawa.
Both daruma are 200 monme which I think is about the heaviest hammer used for chiseling.

Mandara-ya sells them. About $80~100, depending upon weight.

No stock at the moment though.
ProShop Hokuto has some Hiroki gennÅ, but not the funate type:

Ishikawa also lists them for sale, but no stock:

Scroll most of the way down the page and you'll see them listed.

My wife has pain issues and sometimes cannot fall asleep.
The story that you posted on your blog about why the Japanese
call a hammer 'genno' turns out to be extremely soporific. Sleeping pill
consumption at our house is way down. Thanks, Chris.

Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not

Perhaps I should focus more on posts which tend to induce slumber - though some say that describes most of them.
