Darumas

Discover traditional Darumas, iconic Japanese good luck dolls symbolising perseverance and determination. Complimentary Japanese-style gift wrapping is available.

A Symbol of Persistence and Good Fortune

Darumas are inspired by Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism, and represent the proverb nana korobi yaoki, meaning fall down seven times, get up eight. Their weighted, rounded shape allows them to return upright when tipped over, embodying resilience and commitment to personal goals. Often given as gifts of encouragement, Japanese Daruma Dolls are commonly used as visual reminders when setting intentions or ambitions.

Distinctive Designs with Regional Character

While traditionally red and depicting a bearded figure, Darumas are available in a variety of colours and artistic styles depending on region and maker. Discover Japanese Daruma dolls, Dharma figures and symbolic good luck ornaments, all available with free Japanese-style gift wrapping to make your gesture even more meaningful.
