The Fuku-iri Daruma White is a refined expression of Takasaki Daruma, meticulously handcrafted by Imai Daruma NAYA. Each piece is shaped and painted by hand, ensuring no two are ever exactly alike—every Daruma carrying the artisan’s skill and dedication to tradition.

In Japanese culture, white is a symbol of purity, new beginnings, and clarity, making this Daruma a meaningful talisman for those embarking on fresh journeys or seeking balance and focus. Its gracefully 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 embodies quiet resilience, guiding its owner toward their aspirations with a sense of calm determination.

Elegant in its simplicity yet profound in meaning, the Fuku-iri Daruma White is a timeless symbol of renewal and perseverance, infused with the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.
