Week 7 : Daruma Dolls

Ever heard of Daruma dolls?
Okay, maybe u didnt noe the term of this doll.
Now take a look at this.



Does it ring a bell?
Well normally you will see it at japanese shops (i saw 1 at Central crepe shop. )
Well anyway they are called Daruma Dolls.


What are Daruma Dolls?
They are dolls that are said to represent good luck and fortune for the japanese. 

So what is so special about another fengshui ornament from japan?
It is sold like this!


WITHOUT EYES!


Freaky much huh? 
Well one side of the eye will be drawn when a goal / task is set!
The other eye is drawn only when the goal/ task is accomplished





When the eye is drawn, it sorts of gives the person a motivation to work towards the goal.
Because the 1 eyed daruma dolls serves a purpose to remind the person to finish the goal too. 

I think that if i were to have a 1 eye drawn daruma doll i would like to accomplish the task to make it look better.
Because the doll is weird looking with only 1 eye, like some visual distraction.
So in a way, this could aid in accomplishing a goal too hahha.




Have a hard goal to accomplish?
Why not get a Daruma doll to motivate you?
