Bring a little good fortune and Japanese tradition into everyday life with the Daruma Fortune Bundle, a cheerful collection inspired by one of Japan’s most recognisable symbols of perseverance and determination.

Featuring a pair of colourful Daruma tea cups, a vibrant Daruma gauze towel and a miniature Daruma ornament, this gift set combines practical everyday pieces with the enduring symbolism of the Daruma.

Traditionally associated with perseverance, good fortune and achieving one’s goals, the Daruma makes this a particularly meaningful gift for someone beginning a new chapter, pursuing a goal, or simply in need of a little encouragement.

Japanese Gauze Towel - Daruma

Mini Daruma Ornament - Black

The Meaning of Daruma

Inspired by Bodhidharma, the Daruma has long been associated in Japan with perseverance, resilience and good fortune.

A well-known Japanese saying connected with the Daruma is 七転び八起き (nanakorobi yaoki) — “fall seven times, stand up eight.” It represents the determination to keep going despite setbacks.

Traditionally, a Daruma begins with both eyes left blank. One eye is filled in when setting a goal or making a wish, and the second when that goal has been achieved.

Why This Japanese Gift Set Is Special

More than a collection of Daruma-themed pieces, this bundle carries a simple message: keep going.

From sharing tea in the colourful Daruma cups to keeping the miniature Daruma nearby as a reminder of a personal goal, each piece brings a little of this enduring Japanese symbolism into everyday life.

With its bold red, green, yellow and gold palette, the collection also makes a distinctive alternative to more delicate Japanese gift sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Daruma have blank eyes?

Daruma dolls traditionally begin with both eyes left blank. This is intentional — the eyes are completed as part of a Japanese custom associated with setting a goal, making a wish or committing to something you hope to achieve.

What do the different Daruma colours represent?

Each Daruma colour symbolises a different wish or blessing in Japanese tradition:

Red – Good Luck & Success
Pink – Love & Happiness
White – New Beginnings & Academic Success
Black – Protection & Warding Off Evil
Yellow – Wealth & Prosperity
Purple – Health & Longevity
Green – Growth & Good Health

Is Daruma a good gift?

Yes. Daruma-themed gifts are often given to celebrate new beginnings, graduations, career milestones, new businesses, birthdays, and New Year. As a symbol of perseverance and good fortune, Daruma makes a thoughtful gift to encourage someone as they pursue their goals.

Why is Daruma so popular in Japan?

Daruma is widely recognised as a symbol of good luck and encouragement. Its iconic design appears not only on traditional Daruma dolls but also on everyday items such as tableware, stationery, textiles, and home décor. Featuring Daruma on daily objects is a way to celebrate Japanese culture while carrying a reminder of resilience and positive thinking.

What does a Daruma symbolise?

The Daruma represents perseverance, success, and never giving up. Its rounded shape allows it to return upright when tipped over, reflecting the Japanese proverb:

"Fall down seven times, stand up eight."

For this reason, Daruma are often displayed to encourage strength, optimism, and determination when pursuing personal or professional goals.

What is a Daruma?

A Daruma (達磨) is a traditional Japanese good luck charm that symbolises perseverance, determination, and achieving goals. Inspired by Bodhidharma, the Buddhist monk traditionally credited with founding Zen Buddhism, Daruma dolls have been cherished in Japan for centuries as symbols of resilience and good fortune.

What is a Yunomi?

A Yunomi (湯のみ) is a traditional Japanese tea cup designed for everyday tea drinking. Unlike formal tea ceremony bowls, Yunomi are made for daily use and are commonly enjoyed with green tea, hojicha, genmaicha, and other Japanese teas. Their comfortable shape makes them suitable for both hot and cold beverages.

What's the difference between a Japanese tea cup (Yunomi) and a matcha bowl (Chawan)?

Both Yunomi and Chawan are traditional Japanese tea vessels, but they are designed for different styles of tea.

A Yunomi (湯のみ) is a tall, handleless cup made for everyday tea drinking and is commonly used for green tea, sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha.

A Chawan (茶碗) is a wider, open bowl specifically designed for preparing and drinking matcha during the Japanese tea ceremony, allowing enough space for whisking the tea with a bamboo whisk.

In short, Yunomi is for everyday tea, while Chawan is for matcha.
