Daruma Doll (Wish Ball)
Daruma has its origin in Bodhidharma, a Buddihist monk from South India in the 5-6th centuries, and created as a doll in Japan in Edo-period, between 17th and 19th centuries.
Now Daruma Doll in Japan, is a symbol of luck. Because of its round shape, it rises up immediately it falls, thus, it is believed it brings us a good luck.
When we make a wish, we put one eye, and when wish has realized, another eye is put.
Daruma Doll is commonly used in Japan at opportunities such as elections, business establishment and school entrance exams.
