🎎 History

Takasaki’s daruma trade is documented by 1829, when the illustrated text 高崎談図抄 depicted and described dolls being sold at the New Year market in Tamachi, Takasaki. Daruma-making developed as off-season work for farmers. The dolls also became household sacred objects among silkworm farmers, spreading as protective deities associated with sericulture. The craft later received two distinct forms of official recognition. In 1993, Takasaki Daruma was designated a Gunma Prefecture Furusato Traditional Craft. In 2006, the Takasaki Daruma name received regional collective trademark registration, a separate recognition from the prefectural craft designation.

This gold doll belongs to the handmade Takasaki daruma tradition of Gunma Prefecture. Its blank eyes connect it to the wish-making custom described in the product details.
