Culture Trip
  • 7 years ago
Culture Trip explores the symbolism behind Japenese Daruma dolls, as well as their artistic, cultural, and spiritual significance. Although symbols of luck and good fortune abound in Japan, few can match the popularity of Daruma dolls: papier-mâché figures believed to lead their owners toward success. Darumas, shaped like Bodhidharma and produced around Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture, are an important part of New Year celebrations in Japan, and a deep-rooted Japanese tradition.
