 “Daruma” is a traditional Japanese tumbler doll representing Bodhidharma, who founded the Zen sect of Buddhism in the sixth century.

“Daruma”, representing Bodhidharma sitting in meditation, is made of paper-marche, limbless and typically painted in red.  “Daruma” is made in various sizes, but typical size as large as a melon.  It is weighted on the bottom, so it always recovers upright position whenever it is tumbled. 

Nowadays “Daruma” is regarded more as a bringer of good luck.  It is considered a symbol of perseverance and reaching the objective, as it always stands up positively. 

Willy found a Daruma stand at the green festival in the last weekend at Hiratsuka Sogo Park.
And, he tried to paint Daruma with Nana.





We enjoyed other stands.
