Description

Fulfill your wishes and bring good fortune to your home with this delightful blue "Daruma" doll from Kakinuma Ningyo. 

A Daruma doll is a type of Japanese good luck doll which has been traditionally used to deliver good fortune and help achieve one's goal. It is customary when acquiring the doll, to a make wish and fill in the left eye. And once the wish comes true or a goal is achieved, the other eye is filled in. 

The traditional round shape of the Daruma doll makes it incredibly endearing. And the intricately woven patters of its beautiful Nishijin Ori Brocade dressing further enhances its charm. The light blue color of the fabric with colorful flowers give this Daruma doll a gentle impression and is a cute addition on a side table or on a shelf placed on its accompanying purple cushion. 

This Daruma doll is specially crafted using the technique of "Edo Kimekomi Dolls" which are Japanese traditional dolls made by embedding the ends of the fabric in grooves carved into the wooden base of the body.

Kimekomi Dolls were originally created in Kyoto in the late 1740s, and following the subsequent development of Edo, doll makers moved from Kyoto and spread their craft. Today, these dolls are still made by hand in the traditional way, and are designated as a traditional craft by the national government. 

Established in 1950, Kakinuma Ningyo is a manufacturer specializing in crafting Edo Kimekomi Dolls. While pursuing a variety of original techniques, the studio has been eager to create innovative dolls that match the sense of beauty of the times. Their new styles of Kimekomi Dolls such as Lucky cats and Hello Kitty, is a traditional yet brand-new form, and is attracting renewed attention as a home decor item.
