Fulfill your wishes and bring good fortune to your home with this delightful black daruma doll.
A daruma is a traditional Japanese doll symbolizing good fortune and perseverance in achieving one’s goals. When acquiring a daruma, it is customary to make a wish and fill in its left eye. Once the wish comes true or the goal is achieved, the right eye is filled in.
The traditional round shape of the daruma doll makes it incredibly endearing. And the intricately woven patterns of its beautiful Nishijin Ori brocade dressing further enhances its charm. The black and gold fabric gives the doll its stylish and modern look while the presence of purple, a traditional hue in Japan, at the bottom adds to its auspiciousness. Place it on its accompanying cushion and use it to decorate a side table or shelf.

Origin
Edo Kimekomi dolls are small wooden dolls made of paulownia wood and dressed in traditional Japanese silk textiles.

Daruma Dolls
Daruma are popular Japanese dolls that symbolize good fortune and are often used to set goals and make wishes. They traditionally depict a monk wearing a red hood and an intense expression, although many different colors and patterns exist today.
Crafted from paper or cloth and weighted at the bottom, a daruma doll will always roll back upright when pushed—a powerful symbol of perseverance, resilience, and success. Add a touch of charm and good fortune to your home by decorating with these iconic daruma dolls.
Nishijin Ori Brocade
Nishijin Ori is a brocade that is a yarn-dyed textile produced in “Nishijin,” which is a common name given to the northwest area of Kyoto. It has a long history, dating back to the Heian period (794 CE - 1185 CE), and is characterized by the use of beautifully dyed threads and patterns woven using a variety of techniques.
Because it is produced in small quantities in a wide variety, Nishijin Ori is highly scarce and valuable. This fabric can be cherished for an extended period of time, often being passed down from one generation to the next.
In 1976, it was designated as a Japanese traditional craft, and today, this luxurious three-dimensional woven art is widely known around the world as a representative silk textile of Japan.
