🎎 History
The Daruma doll is modeled after Bodhidharma, an Indian monk who brought Zen Buddhism to China. According to legend, he meditated facing a wall for nine years until he attained enlightenment.
When this story reached Japan, it merged with the traditional Japanese toy “Okiagari Koboshi,” a roly-poly figure that always stands back up. The combination of Bodhidharma’s perseverance and the Japanese toy gave birth to the modern Daruma doll.
During the Edo period, smallpox outbreaks were common, and people began placing red Daruma dolls in their homes as amulets to ward off illness. Since then, Daruma dolls have remained one of Japan’s most beloved traditional good-luck charms.
