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."
The white lacquer finish gives them an elegant and sacred presence. The white color is thought to return things to nothing and create new energy, and is said to have the power to help people achieve their goals, so they are also used as talismans for "praying for success" and "fulfilling great wishes."

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.
