Product description

The daruma is a doll with no arms or legs, weighted at the bottom so it always rights itself. You color in one eye when making a wish, and the second only when it has been granted. It is the Japanese symbol of perseverance, the one you place on your desk, offer to a friend going through a difficult time, or keep in sight so you don't forget.

Its origin: Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk who is said to have meditated for nine years facing a wall until he lost the use of his limbs. The daruma is his popular, round, and indestructible form, which Japanese artisans have been sculpting, painting, and weaving for centuries.

On this maekake woven in Nagoya, he appears as a motif in the cotton. Simple, familiar, and full of meaning. An apron to tie on when you start something and fully intend to finish it.

Care: cotton woven in Nagoya, machine wash at 30°C maximum and do not tumble dry, to maintain the density of the fabric and the sharpness of the pattern over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the daruma motif represent?

The daruma (達磨) is a Japanese doll with no arms or legs, weighted so that it always rights itself: a symbol of perseverance, inspired by the monk Bodhidharma.

What is the apron made of?

100% cotton, woven in Nagoya on a century-old shuttle loom (Toyota shuttle loom).

How do I wash it?

Gentle wash, without hot water, bleach or fabric softener, separately from other textiles; slight shrinkage is possible on the first wash.

How to use it?

A maekake is a short Japanese apron worn at the waist, once worn by craftspeople, merchants and brewers.
What it is for: you tie it around your hips to cook, make or work, and it protects your clothes from splashes.
Tie it around your hips when you start something and fully intend to finish it, as the daruma suggests.
It is worn in the kitchen or in a workshop. The 260 cm waist tie fits up to a 95 cm waist.
Machine wash at 30 °C maximum, separately, with no bleach or fabric softener and no tumble dryer. Slight shrinkage is possible after the first wash.
Idea: it is also an original gift for someone who loves cooking or Japan.
Good to know: wash at a low temperature, inside out, to preserve the colours of the pattern.
