The Fuku-iri Daruma Green is a distinguished piece of Takasaki Daruma, meticulously handcrafted by Imai Daruma NAYA. Each Daruma is individually shaped and painted by hand, ensuring that no two are exactly alike—a reflection of the artisan’s dedication and skill.

In Japanese tradition, green is a symbol of growth, balance, and harmony, making this Daruma a meaningful talisman for those seeking renewal and stability in their journey. Its elegantly arched eyebrows take the form of a crane, a revered emblem of longevity, while its flowing beard mirrors the shell of a tortoise, representing endurance and resilience. True to the philosophy of nanakorobi yaoki—“fall down seven times, get up eight”—this Daruma embodies perseverance, serving as a quiet yet steadfast reminder to embrace challenges with determination.

With its refined presence and deep symbolism, the Fuku-iri Daruma Green is more than just a lucky charm—it is a reflection of strength, renewal, and the enduring beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.
