Takasaki Daruma

Takasaki Daruma
The red color of the Daruma doll represents the red robes traditionally worn by Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen. The gold pattern on the front symbolizes his kesa (Buddhist robe). Unique design elements of the Takasaki Daruma include eyebrows shaped like cranes and a beard resembling a tortoise, both symbols of good fortune cherished by generations.

The round, red Daruma doll is regarded as a charm that brings harmony and prosperity to the home.
