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. 

This miniature version stands at 2 inches tall and is easy to carry around in a bag or purse, or to display on a desk.  

How to use:

1. 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 use choose to use the enclosed eyeball sticker instead. *Pictured tweezers are not included*). 
2. 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 a proof of achievement and gratitude, and can also be used as a talisman in the house. 

The color of each daruma can have symbolic meanings and can represent the category of your wish: 

• Red: Gives strength, energy, improves physical health.
• Gold: Brings success and luck with finances. 
• Yellow: Enhances focus, brings in positivity.
• Green: Relieves stress, improves mental & physical health.
• Pink: Helps with mental healing, positivity in romance and love. 
• Purple: Helps call forth creativity or inspiration. 
• Blue: Promotes calmness, helps build trust and reliability.
• White: Hope, helps with problem solving.

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

As these are hand-painted, each face and expression may differ. Your customers can draw different expressions on their darumas. They can also write messages on them, or words of encouragement with a marker. The point is to have fun with them!  

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. Your customers can read the message inside the small red box for their fortunes.
