| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "The Daruma doll ... also known as a Dharma doll, is a hollow, round, Japanese traditional doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting a bearded man (Dharma), vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist. Though considered an omocha, meaning toy, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese. Daruma dolls are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular gift of encouragement. The doll has also been commercialized by many Buddhist temples to use alongside goal setting."--Wikipedia. Note: "Bodhidharma [Japanese: 達磨 Daruma] was a Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th/6th century CE."--Wikipedia. |
