Daruma are Japanese talisman used to manifest luck in achieving a personal goal or wish. They are based on the story of Bodhidharma - who dedicated himself to 9 long years of meditation. So long in fact that his arms and legs just… fell off.
Daruma have become a symbol of resilience in achieving your goals.
It starts by drawing a pupil in the left eye - Once you’ve achieved your goal or wish, you get to mark your journey complete by filling out the other eye.
Every Daruma is slipcasted and glazed by hand in San Francisco.
No two Daruma are perfectly alike
福 or “fuku” roughly translates to “luck”, “fortune” or “perseverance”
