{"product_id":"green-daruma-doll-sachi","title":"Green Daruma Doll 'Sachi'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreen daruma doll in matte enamel with blank eyes to paint and a gold character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen, matte, eyes blank. This daruma is a ceramic doll in a matte grass green enamel with the face painted in the traditional black brows and moustache, a red mouth, both eyes left as blank white circles for you to paint, gold streaks at the shoulders and a single gold character brushed large across the belly. Green is the daruma for health and for the body, and it is the one given to someone getting better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the wishing daruma for a person whose wish is to be well, or for someone they love to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Sachi, is happiness, good fortune, and green is the daruma's colour for the kind that lives in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe doll is ceramic with a matte enamel finish, cast hollow with a weighted base, the face painted in the crane-and-tortoise strokes of the Takasaki tradition, the eyes left as two blank white circles for you to paint, with a single gold character brushed large on the belly and gold streaks at the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe daruma is the monk who sat facing a wall for nine years, and the doll is his body with no limbs and a weighted base, so it rights itself when knocked over: seven times down, eight times up. You paint one eye when you set a goal and the other when you reach it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it where you will see it every day, on a desk, a shelf or a windowsill, facing into the room, and paint the left eye when you set the goal. Knock it over once to see it stand up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe green is the detail: a clear grass green with no blue in it, matte, so it reads as painted, and the gold on it is warm. The blank eyes are white and they wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery daruma in the collection is photographed at the same scale, so the pages compare: the single dolls are about the height of a hand, the stacked box taller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft cloth; wipe with a damp one if it needs it. Paint the eyes with a brush and black ink or a marker. It is ceramic and it breaks, so keep it off the edge of the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room it is a green egg with a face. From close the eyes show their blank, the belly its gold, and the green its matte. It is the daruma for a bedside and a person getting better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59207752188252,"sku":"14:200006156#Green","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/green-daruma-doll-sachi-1.jpg?v=1790586136","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/green-daruma-doll-sachi","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
