Japanese Daruma doll

Daruma dolls, also known as dharma dolls, are hollow and round Japanese wish dolls with no arms or legs, modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder and first patriarch of Zen.Typical colors are red (most common), yellow, green, and white. The doll has a face with a mustache and beard, but its eyes only contain the color white. Using black ink, one fills in a single circular eye while thinking of a wish. Should the wish later come true, the second eye is filled in. It is traditional to fill in the right eye first; the left eye is left blank until the wish is fulfilled.Many of the Daruma dolls are male but there is a female daruma doll. It is called hime daruma or "princess daruma." Daruma doll is a doll from which Bodhidharma was made as a model, and are extremely popular in Japan- seen as a good luck charm.
