The Fuku-iri Daruma Red is a timeless representation of Takasaki Daruma, meticulously handcrafted by Imai Daruma NAYA. Every piece is formed and painted by hand, ensuring that no two are exactly alike—each one carrying the artisan’s skill and dedication in every brushstroke.

In Japanese tradition, red is the most iconic color of Daruma, symbolizing good fortune and protection. It is believed to ward off misfortune while bringing strength and positivity to its owner. 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 stability. True to the spirit of nanakorobi yaoki—“fall down seven times, get up eight”—this Daruma serves as a steadfast companion for those pursuing their goals with unwavering determination.

Perfectly sized to grace a desk or personal space, the Fuku-iri Daruma Red carries with it the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and tradition, offering both inspiration and a touch of luck in everyday life.
