Description

Daruma 達磨 from Kyoto, gold color for money and happiness This gold colored Daruma is to bring luck in all money. The fortune-maker comes from Kyoto, where it is produced in a long tradition. The Daruma is very popular as a personal wish-filler as well as a gift and just in the color gold a small but fine eye-catcher in every living area. In Japan, Daruma is one of the most popular lucky charms! The figure of the Daruma goes back to Bodhidharma, the Buddhist monk, who remained for many years in meditation until his enlightenment. Classic Daruma are weight-weighted, so they can not fall down and keep standing up. This re-emergence has made the Daruma a popular fortune-teller, encouraged to re-establish itself. He is thus closely connected to the Japanese proverb nanakorobi yaoki, jap. 転 び 八 起 き き. It means: Seven times fall down, eight times get up. In keeping with this proverb, the Japanese papier-mâché fortune-teller is comparable to a stand-up man and is supposed to help to equal him. If one has a wish, one paints an eye first. Afterwards you place the fortune-maker at a place where you go as often as you can, so that the wish can be fulfilled more quickly. If the wish has been fulfilled, the other eye is painted.
