A Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll that helps us to achieve our dreams and aspirations.

Here’s how it works: First, think of something special you wish to achieve. Next, draw or paint one of your Daruma doll’s blank eyes. Place Daruma someplace visible, so that while he focuses on your objective, you’ll be reminded to do the same. Once your goal is realized, signify your accomplishment by drawing Daruma’s other eye. Congratulations!

The Personalized Red Jumbo Daruma Doll is a great idea for the office, a rallying symbol for teams to unite around. We can personalize the doll with your company name, team name, school, or brand name written on two lines on his belly!

When it comes to Daruma dolls, it all begins with red. Reminiscent of the rising sun of Japan’s flag, red represents good fortune, happiness, and luck. A red Daruma is an excellent companion for students, to help establish goals and maintain focus throughout a semester or exam period. Job seekers and athletes and sports fans also enjoy having a red Daruma in their corner! For virtually any goal or wish, red is a great choice.

For each Jumbo Daruma Doll sold, Unique Japan will proudly donate one dollar ($5USD) to the Children’s HeartLink. The Children’s HeartLink is a non-profit organization that helps enhance existing pediatric cardiac programs to support life-saving treatments for needy children.

Daruma is closely associated with a beloved Japanese proverb, nana korobi yaoki, which states, “Fall down seven times, get up eight”. The Daruma doll’s unique rounded shape allows it to return to its original position even if knocked over, representing such persistence. Daruma reminds us all to never give up on our dreams.
