The Story of Shirakawa Daruma
Shirakawa Daruma Sohonpo has been loved by the Japanese people for about 300 years. Shirakawa Daruma was born as a good luck charm, originally from the thought of "making citizens' lives more energetic" by Sadanobu Matsudaira, famous for the reform of the Kansei era. Since ancient times, when people wish for something, such as family health, business prosperity, high school and college entrance exams, and election elections, Shirakawa Daruma has always been present in people's wishes and hopes.
The biggest feature of the Shirakawa Daruma doll is the face: just as your expression is different from others, each Shirakawa Daruma doll has a different expression. Thanks to technological innovation we are able to produce the same daruma face easily. But there is only one reason why Japanese craftsmen don't do this: precisely because there is a "personality" in us, there is only one "personality" that can be created by hand.
HAPPY DARUMAS
