Collection: Authentic Japanese Daruma Dolls | Antique | Wabisabi Mart

Authentic Japanese Daruma Dolls

The Daruma (達磨) is one of Japan's most recognisable symbols of perseverance, good luck and the pursuit of goals. Based on the image of Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, Daruma dolls are used in Japanese tradition to set intentions and mark achievements. Our collection features authentic antique Daruma hand-selected in Japan under our official antique dealer license, shipped direct from Japan.

About Daruma

When you receive a Daruma, you fill in one eye while setting a goal. When the goal is achieved, you fill in the second eye. This ritual has been practised in Japan for centuries and is used by everyone from schoolchildren to politicians and business owners. Authentic antique Daruma carry the weight of that tradition — each one a unique artefact of Japanese folk culture.
