Daruma

- Good Luck Charm

Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll or often called a "goal doll". It is based on a sage monk who lived in the 5th-6th century in China. He is the father of Zen Buddhism. Legend claims that he sat facing a wall in meditation for a period of nine years without moving, which caused his legs and arms to waste away. 

A daruma doll is closely associated with a Japanese proverb, "nana korobi yaoki (Fall down seven times, get up eight)". It is similar to the English expression , “If you fall off your horse, get right back on”.

Our Daruma Black, meticulously crafted and weighing 950g. Its sleek black finish, achieved through traditional Japanese lacquering techniques, is not only visually striking but also believed to ward off misfortune and invite good luck into your life.

Embrace the power of positivity with our black Daruma doll and let fortune smile upon you.

Zen Series – Incense Holder

- Incense Holder

The Zen series Incense holder is inspired by Zen Philosophy, specifically the practice of Zazen meditation. In Zazen, a monk would burn incense to measure the meditation time.

Our incense holders come in two shapes: "enso" and "kyosaku".
"Enso" represents the Zen circle of enlightenment. It symbolizes pure emptiness and the liberation that comes from meditation practice.
"Kyosaku" is a flat wooden stick. During Zazen, if a practitioner feels sleepy or lacks concentration, they can request the kyosaku. The Master gently strikes the shoulders with the kyosaku, inducing a sense of relaxation and helping the practitioner continue their meditation in a focused state. This action is not meant to be harsh or punishing in any way.
