Three mini Daruma wishing dolls from Japan, used.

This trio of Daruma dolls have both eyes filled in. They are papier mache wishing dolls from Japan. Blue, purple and green. Each color has a specific meaning. Approx 2 1/2 inches tall. Blue-success in school and the development of the intellect. Blue is also a calming color and so a blue daruma doll can be a good addition to your home or work space. It can promote a sense of relaxation and serenity. Purple-health and longevity. Purple is a regal color that is associated with the imperial line, and it’s connected with such qualities as character and integrity. Green-physical health. Also the development of talent and skill. This ties into the connection between the color green and plants budding, and calls to mind the English expression ‘budding talent.’
