Shop Owner’s Note

This is a truly unique piece that captures the humorous spirit of the traditional Daruma doll. What makes it special is the rounded base, designed like an "Okiagari-koboshi"—a Japanese tumbler toy that always rights itself when tilted.

In Japan, Daruma represents the spirit of "falling seven times and getting up eight," a symbol of resilience and good fortune. This playful and interactive design is sure to bring a smile to your guests and serve as a brilliant centerpiece for celebrations or New Year's gatherings.
