Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Often found on Kamidana Shrines, Daruma dolls are said to represent the priest Bodhidharma, a 6th century Indian priest considered the founder of Chinese Zen Buddhism. New daruma do not have eyes painted on them as Bodhidharma used his inner vision rather than physical sight. Instead, large white circles are painted onto the dolls head. When you receive the Daruma you should make a wish and paint in the doll's left eye. When the wish comes true you should paint in the other eye. Each time your wish is granted you should take the finished Daruma to a shrine where it is burned with other Daruma as an offering. Daruma are often bought before exams to hope for good luck, at New Years, for the opening of a dojo, to a student for added encourangement or any occasion hoping for success and other major events. Each Daruma is hand made and measures approximately 6 inches tall. Other sizes and colors are available via special order. We can special order Daruma in sizes from 2.3 inches up to 29 inches in Red, White, Blue, Pink, and Black. Contact us at for a full list of daruma available.
