Description
Hand-painted Takasaki daruma doll with blank eyes for wish-setting
Display on a shelf or desk away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve hand-painted finish. Daruma are intentionally left unpainted in the eyes—fill the left eye when setting a goal, the right eye when achieved. Not a toy; handle gently.
