{"product_id":"orange-daruma-doll-hiakari","title":"Orange Daruma Doll 'Hiakari'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOrange daruma doll in matte enamel with blank eyes to paint and a gold character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrange, matte, eyes blank. This daruma is a ceramic doll in a matte orange enamel, closer to a red-orange than the glossy orange in the collection, with the face painted in the traditional strokes, 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. Orange is the daruma for money and for a shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the wishing daruma for a person whose wish has a number on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Hiakari, is the light of the sun, the warm orange of the body, and the doll is that colour.\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 matte orange is the detail: it does not shine, so it reads as painted paper rather than glaze, and the gold character on the belly sits on it warmly. The blank eyes are the same white as the face.\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 an orange egg with a face and no eyes. From close the eyes show their blank, the belly its gold cursive, and the orange its matte. It is the daruma for a till and a person saving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59207752319324,"sku":"14:200006155#Orange","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/orange-daruma-doll-hiakari-1.jpg?v=1790586133","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/orange-daruma-doll-hiakari","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
