The Roly-Poly Man/ 七転び八起き
As you know, Daruma is a roly-poly papier-mache doll modeled after the Indian Buddhist monk Bodhidarma who founded Zen Buddhism. People who have desires buy daruma dolls hoping they will improve their endurance and that, like the roly-poly man which may fall seven times, they can rise again eight times. I like this positve thought.
Today, I introduce very handsome guys in our shop. They are all expressive!!
I have a friend who publishes Daruma magazine which is very popular for Japanese antique lovers. She introduces many Daruma on the recent issue 67, and you will know more about it!!
