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!

The yellow Daruma symbolizes security and protection. A yellow Daruma dolls is a thoughtful gift for members of the military and for friends or relatives who drive for a living. People also feel an extra sense of security with a yellow Daruma guarding their homes. Like all varieties of Darumas, a yellow doll represents an extension of good will toward someone you care for.

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.
