This lively papier mache (or hariko) daruma from Tottori prefecture is traditionally hand made and individually hand painted. With a cleverly weighted base, he keeps on bouncing ba ck each time he gets knocked down, so he'd like a home where his tenacious character will lift the spirits of all who need him! This headband pattern represents health and vitality where he's from, and the vibrant red colour is said to protect against misfortune. These folk figurines are painted one at a time, so each is unique and yours will differ slightly from the photos. Comes in a box. Show more
