Daruma Doll
Discover our enchanting mini Happy Daruma dolls, meticulously crafted in Japan.
A daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll, often used as a lucky charm because it's believed to make any wish come true. It's a cultural artifact that's been around for hundreds of years, but is still popular and loved to this day in Japan. Each hand-painted doll represents a powerful tradition of manifestation and goal-setting.
This miniature version stands at 2 inches tall and is easy to carry around in a bag or purse, or to display on a desk.

They make great gifts for new businesses, graduations, get-well, etc!
As these are hand-painted, each face and expression may differ. Your customers can draw different expressions on their darumas. They can also write messages on them, or words of encouragement with a marker. The point is to have fun with them!
The daruma is designed as a okiagari-koboshi, which means even if you knock it down, it will get right back up. This symbolizes resilience and strength - the Buddhist principle of Nanakorobi Yaoki, which means falling down seven times, but getting up eight.
Also included is an omikuji, a printed fortune slip that is included with each daruma. Your customers can read the message inside the small red box for their fortunes.
