Large Red Daruma Doll

For luck and good fortune

Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll that helps us to achieve our dreams and aspirations.

HOW DARUMA WORKS:
First, think of something special you wish to achieve. Next, draw or paint one of your Daruma doll's blank eyes. This represents THE START of your commitment to achieving your goal. Place Daruma someplace visible, so that while he focuses on your objective, you'll be reminded to do the same. Once your goal is realized, signify your accomplishment by drawing Daruma's other eye! Congratulations!

When it comes to Daruma dolls, it all begins with red. Reminiscent of the rising sun of Japan's flag, red represents good fortune, happiness, and luck. A red Daruma is an excellent companion for students, to help establish goals and maintain focus throughout a semester or exam period. Job seekers and athletes also enjoy having a red Daruma in their corner. For virtually any goal or wish, red is a great choice.

Daruma is closely associated with a beloved Japanese proverb, nana korobi yaoki, which states, “Fall down seven times, get up eight”. The Daruma doll's unique rounded shape allows it to return to its original position even if knocked over, representing such persistence. Daruma reminds us all to never give up on our aspirations.
