Description

Daruma dolls are constant reminders of the what the Japanese call the ganbaru spirit. The doll embodies this popular Japanese proverb: Nanakorobi yaoki. "Fall down seven times, stand up eight. They are built to automatically bounce back when knocked over.They are a metaphor of grit and endurance.💓Red:Good luck & fortune.💜Purple:health and longevity. Purple is a regal color that is associated with the imperial line, and it’s connected with such qualities as character and integrity.💛Yellow:as with gold, there’s an expected association with financial good fortune as well as a more general connection to good fortune.🤍White:the color of choice for students studying for rigorous school entrance exams that are such a common and stressful rite of passage in Japan. More generally white is associated with goal attainment. White also stands for purity, not only in terms of experience, but also in purpose. So a simple white daruma, perhaps with less gold accents than the one pictured, would be especially apropos for someone who’s practicing a martial art such as karate, judo or kendo. A white daruma can inspire those who are interested in bushido, the code of honor of the samurai, for similar reasons. White emphasizes the the way, the path, rather than the result in this context. So, while white daruma dolls and goal setting go together, they also remind us to pay attention to the process.🖤Black:success in business ventures. A good color for entrepreneurs. Just like in English(in the black), the Japanese language refers to black for success in business(kuro ji), and so a black daruma doll will invite such business fortune. And because it also represents power and strength, black can also promote stability in terms of a business’s money flow. So a black daruma would be a great gift for someone who’s starting a new business venture.💙Blue:success in school and the development of the intellect. Blue is also a calming color and so a blue daruma doll can be a good addition to your home or work space. It can promote a sense of relaxation and serenity.💚Green:physical health. Also the development of talent and skill. This ties into the connection between the color green and plants budding, and calls to mind the English expression ‘budding talent.’Pink:Love & RomanceHow to use a Daruma doll:1 - Have a goal or promise to fulfill. 2 - Fill in the left eye of the Daruma, while concentrating on your goal3 - Work for it everyday.4 - When the goal is achieved, paint in the other eye.
