  2. The Daruma is a famous Japanese doll modelled after a Japanese monk.

  3. Daruma’s are usually made of paper-mâché, have a round shape, are hollow, and weighted at the bottom to allow it to return to a upright position when tilted over.

  4. These dolls, are usually red and look like a bearded man. They can vary greatly in colour and design depending on the part of Japan they come from.

  5. Daruma were originally designed as a toy for children however, Daruma have become a symbol of good luck and perseverance to Japanese people. They are often given as gifts to people to wish them good luck and good fortune.

  6. The eyes of Daruma are blank when sold. After you buy a daruma you colour in one eye of the doll with a black pen and set a goal or make a wish. When the goal or wish is fulfilled the other eye is coloured in.

  7. Many children's games make mention of Daruma. Two examples are ‘Darumasan ga koronda’ and Daruma Otoshi. Daruma Otoshi is an ancient game consisting of a daruma doll in pieces, usually in the colours of the rainbow, with five pieces in total, from top to bottom: head - a man's face, blue, green, yellow, red. The game is played by using a small hammer, and you must hit each of the coloured pieces, from bottom to the top, without letting the pieces fall during the game.
