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. They make great gifts for new businesses, graduations, get-well, etc!
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.

How to use:
Fill in the left eye by drawing in a round eyeball in the center of the white circle with a marker while making a wish or setting a goal (you can also choose to use the enclosed eyeball sticker instead. *Pictured tweezers are not included*).
Then, fill in the right eye after your wish comes true, or your goal has been achieved.
A daruma with both eyes filled in is proof of achievement and gratitude, and can also be used as a talisman in the house.
