Daruma Dolls

This print has a great figure in a lovely style. The Daruma tumbler doll, a popular talisman of good luck, represents Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism. It has no limbs because it is believed that the monk's legs and arms were atrophied after nine years' meditation!


100% cotton

quilted Daruma by Cheryl Sleboda, USA :

"The idea of the daruma doll is that the doll comes with white eyes. You make a wish, and fill in the one eye. When your wish comes true, you fill in the other eye and hang proudly in your home. I made my wish and sewed in the one eye. If my wish comes true, I will fill in the other eye and post it finished here."
