A symbol of determination, made to stay by your side.

Inspired by the enduring spirit of the Daruma, this set brings together three pieces centred around Japan’s iconic Red Daruma — a Mino ware mug, a pair of Mino ware yunomi tea cups and a handmade Daruma ornament.

Traditionally associated with success, achievement and determination, the red Daruma is more than a symbol of good fortune. With its familiar rounded form and determined expression, it represents the idea of continuing towards a goal, even when the journey is not always straightforward.

The handmade Daruma sits at the heart of the set, bringing this centuries-old Japanese tradition into your home. Place it on a desk, shelf or somewhere you pass every day — a small companion and reminder to keep moving towards what matters to you.

Alongside it, the matching Mino ware mug and pair of yunomi bring the Daruma into everyday tea and coffee rituals. Whether the two yunomi are shared over tea or the mug becomes part of a quiet morning routine, each piece turns an ordinary moment into a small celebration of perseverance and Japanese craftsmanship.

THE SET INCLUDES

Daruma Mino Ware Mug - Red
A hand-finished Japanese porcelain mug featuring the classic red Daruma. Made in the historic Mino pottery region using a specialised water-repellent printing technique, each piece has subtle variations in glaze, colour and texture that give it its own individual character.

Daruma Mino Ware Yunomi – Pair (Standard + Mini)
A pair of Japanese tea cups crafted in the Mino pottery region and decorated with cheerful Daruma motifs. Their softly textured finish and traditional yunomi shape make them perfect for sharing green tea, hojicha, genmaicha or a quiet cup together.

Handmade Daruma Ornament - Red
A traditional Daruma ornament handmade in Japan, featuring the unmistakable red colour associated with success, achievement and determination. Display it in your home or workspace as a symbol of perseverance and a reminder of the goals you are working towards.

Keep going. Stay determined. Let Daruma be there for the journey.

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.
