Description
The Daruma doll is a cherished symbol of perseverance and hope in Japanese culture—an inspiring companion for those on a journey toward a goal or dream. Hand-painted by master craftsmen in Takasaki, Gunma, each Daruma is rooted in over a century of tradition, offering both a ritual and a reminder to stay focused.
The ritual is simple yet powerful: set a goal or make a wish, and paint in the left eye of your Daruma. Keep it in sight as a daily affirmation. Once your goal is achieved, fill in the right eye to mark the completion of your journey—a visual celebration of commitment and progress.
Clothed in a monk’s robe, the Daruma’s rounded shape and wide eyes reflect strength and resilience. Its thick eyebrows form a crane, and the moustache takes the shape of a turtle—symbols of longevity in Japanese folklore. The crane is said to live 1,000 years, the turtle 10,000, infusing the doll with a deeper spiritual meaning.
Available in a variety of colours, each with its own significance, Daruma dolls are meaningful gifts and personal motivators alike.

Features
JAPAN-BEST

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen, with the influence of contemporary design. Inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. Passionate about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations - yet somehow remaining contemporary.

Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which have been selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
All sizing information is for guide purposes only.
Where possible we provide individual product size guides. If these aren't
available we provide a generic brand size guide. Individual garments may
differ from these measurements and we cannot guarantee the item you receive
will match these measurements exactly.
Many brands also have a level of tolerance in size differences
between the same item - this is usually 0.5 inches.
If no size guide is shown below, it means there is not one available at
present for this item and it will be added if/when it becomes available.
