Do you know where daruma dolls came from?
The good luck dolls are found all over Japan, but their birthplace is the Syorinzan Darumaji Temple in Gunma Prefecture. Built in 1697, the temple is now home to countless daruma dolls, all of which represent different virtues such as perseverance and luck. When you get the good luck charm, make a wish and then color in one of the eyes, and when your wish comes true, color in the other oneš
