A Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll that helps us to achieve our dreams. It is a centuries-old tradition that is positive, motivational, and fun. Daruma is closely associated with a beloved Japanese proverb nana korobi yaoki, says “Fall down seven times, get up eight”. The Daruma doll, with its unique shape and solid base that allows it to right itself when toppled, is the embodiment of such persistence.

Unlike any other Daruma doll, each We Love Daruma doll features a trademark hand-painted heart on its back. Users may inscribe their goal or wish in this special spot (before or after the goal is achieved). Most importantly, the heart symbolizes charity and goodwill as a portion from each Daruma doll sale will benefit the Children’s HeartLink.

The Daruma Kids are five energized friends who want to help young people dream. For a child, dreaming is the first step in goal-setting. When kids dream, they imagine themselves in the future. They are the doctors, athletes, inventors, firefighters, artists, and teachers of tomorrow. The Daruma Kids remind us to never give up on our dreams and always stay young at heart.

Inspired by the Japanese traditional Daruma doll, a centuries-old wishing doll with a deep , the Daruma Kids exude the spirit of determination. Through their adventures, they offer children an early appreciation for the power of goal-setting – something the ancient Daruma himself represents so well.

A portion from each Daruma Kids merchandise sold will benefit the Children’s Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Daruma Kids are a friendly and inspirational reminder for us all to keep focused on our dreams. Whether as mobile phone straps, dolls or brightening up bags, t-shirts, mugs, or other products, rooms and moods brighten when a Daruma Kid is around.
