Daruma Doll
The Daruma Doll is a traditional Japanese talisman symbolizing perseverance and good luck. It is typically made of papier-mâché and is hollow, round, and weighted at the bottom, allowing it to return to an upright position when tilted. The doll is often painted red and features a face with large, blank eyes.
When people receive a Daruma Doll, they usually make a wish and color in one eye. Once the wish is fulfilled, they fill in the other eye. This practice encourages goal-setting and serves as a reminder to stay focused on achieving one's aspirations.
