which means no two are exactly the same.
Subtle variations in shape, expression, and details
are part of the natural character of handmade work.

What is a Daruma?
Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll that symbolizes:
Perseverance
Resilience
Determination
Inspired by Bodhidharma,
it reflects the spirit of:
“Nanakorobi yaoki” — fall down seven times, get up eight.
Eyes – A Personal Ritual
When you set your intention, fill in one eye
Place it somewhere visible
When your goal is fulfilled, complete the second eye
There is no strict rule —
what matters is the connection between your intention and the act.
