The Daruma doll is a happiness and wish doll for the Japanese. Because he lost both legs, Daruma is often depicted as a kind of tumbler and thus symbolizes the resilience to come back after a setback. Daruma stands for dedication and perseverance, for self-discipline and a positive outlook on life; whatever happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen purchasing a Daruma doll, both eyes are white. After you have made a wish, color one eye. Daruma helps make your wish come true. When that is successful, color the second eye. Daruma dolls are usually red with a beard and mustache, often the eyes are not yet colored. An eye is drawn when making a wish. If the wish has been fulfilled, the other eye is also drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the year, the daruma dolls are returned to the temple for a traditional burning ceremony.
