A charming Daruma dolls, each representing a different wish for good fortune. Traditionally, one eye is filled in when making a wish, and the other when the wish is fulfilled.

Each colour carries its own meaning:

Black – Protection from Evil
Yellow – Good Fortune & Prosperity
White – Academic Success
Red – Good Luck & Success

This Daruma ornament is traditionally completed by painting in its eyes. When setting a goal or making a wish, paint in one eye and keep the Daruma somewhere visible as a reminder of your intention. Once your goal has been achieved, paint in the second eye to mark and celebrate your accomplishment.

The eyes are intentionally left blank so you can take part in this meaningful Japanese tradition yourself.

Display them together as a colourful Japanese interior decoration, or give them as a meaningful gift for someone starting a new journey or working towards a goal.

Compact and palm-sized, this Daruma ornament is made in Japan.
