Q: What is Daruma?

A: A "Daruma" is a traditional Japanese doll that is modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen tradition of Buddhism 🧘‍♂️. These dolls are typically red, round, and hollow, with a design that is rich in symbolism 🌀. They are weighted at the bottom so that they will return to an upright position when tilted, symbolizing the ability to recover from adversity or to keep trying until success is achieved 💪.

Daruma dolls are often used as a talisman of good luck 🍀 and are associated with a popular custom known as "Daruma Kuyo" 🕊️. When a new goal or wish is set, one of the doll's blank eyes is filled in. When the goal is achieved, the other eye is filled in. This serves as a constant reminder of the goal 👀. At the end of the year, regardless of whether the goal was achieved or not, it is common to return the Daruma doll to the temple it was purchased from for a traditional burning ceremony 🔥, thanking the doll for its support and symbolizing the letting go of the past year's concerns.
