Lucky Daruma have been loved since the Edo period as daruma that bring prosperity to business, happiness in the household, good health, and victory. They also symbolize tenacity, as they always get up even when rolled over, reflecting the spirit of "fall seven times, get up eight times."
Believed to have the power to ward off evil and misfortune, red Daruma is the color with the longest history. As a lucky charm to prevent illness and disaster, red Daruma is imbued with meanings such as "domestic harmony," "good health," and "good fortune," making them the most popular Daruma color.

The Daruma shine beautifully in red and sit with a dignified expression, featuring a round shape.

Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, is one of Japan's leading metal industry towns with a 400-year history.
Under the patronage of the Kaga Domain, the copperware industry developed, and the beautiful copperware made in this town is called "Takaoka copperware" and is a traditional craft. As a region with deep ties to Buddhism, the manufacture of Buddhist statues, altars, and Buddhist implements has also been active. Based on the traditional techniques rooted in Takaoka, these are made with great care by artisans who have inherited traditional crafts, such as model makers, casters, and polishers.
