White Daruma
White Daruma
Set a goal. Paint one eye. Watch it come true.
A white Daruma with bold blue brushwork, a soft yellow face and little daisies. Handmade in Japan from papier-mâché and painted by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
Daruma are one of Japan's best-loved good luck charms, modeled on Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen. Their round shape stands for the saying nanakorobi yaoki: fall down seven times, get up eight. They arrive with blank eyes. Paint in one eye when you set a goal, then paint the other when you achieve it.
Choose your size
- Small (9cm) Fits in your palm. Sits nicely on a desk or shelf, where you will see it every day.
