HAPPY DARUMAS: WATCH YOUR LUCK

ダルマ・インベージョン 

To those in search of dreams and luck: this year at Christmas there will be an invasion of Daruma, 達磨, the famous Japanese doll of goals and amulet of good luck. Reference to the figure of Bodhidharma, founder of Japanese Zen, it is a great symbol of perseverance, which invites you to believe in your dreams and carry them to completion. Whether they are small or large, at TENOHA you will be able to find the Daruma suited to your desire and to give as a gift to those you love.
Watch out for your luck!

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

It is Japanese tradition to purchase a small Daruma doll at the beginning of the year and increase the size each year to bring greater luck. Many Daruma have also invaded the shop in Via Vigevano 18: come and discover them all, many activities , surprises and a special collection are in store for you.
