Fuku-iri Daruma Black

Sale price$39.00

The Fuku-iri Daruma Black is a striking expression of Takasaki Daruma, meticulously handcrafted by Imai Daruma NAYA. Each piece is shaped and painted by hand, ensuring that no two are exactly alike—every brushstroke reflecting the artisan’s mastery and dedication.

In Japanese tradition, black is associated with wealth, strength, and protection, making this Daruma a powerful talisman for those seeking financial success and resilience. Its gracefully arched eyebrows take the form of a crane, symbolizing longevity, while its flowing beard mirrors the shell of a tortoise, representing endurance and stability. True to the spirit of nanakorobi yaoki—“fall down seven times, get up eight”—this Daruma embodies unshakable perseverance, standing as a silent yet resolute reminder of determination and ambition.

Bold in presence and deep in symbolism, the Fuku-iri Daruma Black is more than a lucky charm—it is a statement of unwavering strength, fortune, and the enduring art of Japanese craftsmanship.
