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.
