Daruma 達磨 (Japanese Good Luck Doll)


Indian Buddhist priest, born in circa 470. He came to China to teach Zen doctrine but little is known about his real life. In Japan, he is popular through a doll showing his meditation posture in a red robe.

Daruma doll of cocoon form appeared during Edo period at Takasaki city in Gunma prefecture to pray for a healthy growth of silk worms.

Now people set it before any challenge such as an election by drawing one eye and will complete the eye when it becomes successful.
