- Good Luck Charm
The Daruma doll has been a symbol of good luck for many years in Japan.
Daruma was a renowned priest who lived about 1500 years ago in China. He founded the Zen sect of Buddhism there. 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. Based on the legend, the daruma is a symbol of the greatest patience and perseverance that are the foundation to build a successful life.
