Daruma red figurine, luck-charm, to make your wish come true
« Daruma : I decide on a goal and I paint your first eye. Once I reached this goal, I'll paint the other eye.
According to tradition, the Daruma's eyebrows are shaped like cranes and the beard on his cheeks is reminiscent of turtle scales.
These two animals are symbols of longevity in Japan: find them stylised on this Daruma!
This red Daruma is the most common : it's the original.
With the lucky kanji Fuku 福 painted on its chin, it can be used for all kinds of purposes.»
