Fuku-iri Daruma Yellow

Sale price$39.00

The Fuku-iri Daruma Yellow is a beautifully handcrafted Takasaki Daruma, created with precision and care by Imai Daruma NAYA. Each piece is shaped and painted by hand, ensuring no two are exactly alike—every Daruma carrying the artisan’s skill and the essence of tradition.

In Japanese culture, yellow symbolizes prosperity, positivity, and protection, making this Daruma a powerful emblem for those seeking success and well-being. Its gracefully arched eyebrows take the form of a crane, a revered symbol of longevity, while its flowing beard mirrors the shell of a tortoise, representing endurance and strength. True to the spirit of nanakorobi yaoki—“fall down seven times, get up eight”—this Daruma serves as a reminder to keep moving forward with resilience and optimism.

Radiating warmth and fortune, the Fuku-iri Daruma Yellow is a refined expression of Japanese craftsmanship, bringing both encouragement and tradition into everyday life.
