Japanese Daruma Kokeshi

Round Daruma-shaped Japanese kokeshi doll

This original kokeshi doll is shaped like a Daruma, another Japanese doll usually made of papier-mâché. With its round shape and large open eyes, the Daruma is inspired by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma. A symbol of perseverance and success, he'll help you realize your most cherished wish and achieve your goals. This traditional dogwood kokeshi comes straight from Japan's Ganma prefecture. A great gift to wish a loved one happiness and success.
