NEW! Daruma Wishing Dolls

by Nippon Kodo

Often used as a lucky charm because it's believed to make any wish come true, the daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll that's been around for hundreds of years. Despite it's long history, it's still popular and loved to this day in Japan.

Each daruma doll starts with blank eyes. To make a wish, you fill in the left eye by drawing in a round eyeball in the center of the white circle with a marker, while making a wish or setting a goal (you can also choose to use the enclosed eyeball stickers). Then, fill in the right eye after your wish comes true, or your goal has been achieved. A daruma with both eyes filled in is a proof of achievement and gratitude, and can also be used as a talisman in the house.

Available in 8 colors, each color can have a symbolic meaning and can represent the category of your wish:


Red: Gives strength, energy, improves physical health.
Gold: Brings success and luck with finances.
Yellow: Enhances focus, brings in positivity.
Green: Relieves stress, improves mental & physical health.
Pink: Helps with mental healing, positivity in romance and love.
Purple: Helps call forth creativity or inspiration.
Blue: Promotes calmness, helps build trust and reliability.
White: Hope, helps with problem solving.


They make great gifts for new businesses, graduations, get-well, etc!
