The daruma is probably Japan's best-known folk toy. It's a kind of doll. You see them often in Japan, even on key rings. Daruma's name is short for Bodhidharma, a Buddhist priest from India who lived in the sixth century. Legends say that Bodhidharma sat absolutely still and meditated for nine years. He didn't move at all, and after nine years he found he had lost the use of his arms and legs. As a result he could not walk, but he epitomized the popular Japanese proverb, "One may fall seven times but will rise up on the eighth." So darumas are made with no arms or legs. They have weighted bottoms so that no matter how you roll them, they will always return right side up. Some say this symbolizes the spirit of patience, perseverance, and determination shown by the priest. They are usually made without pupils in their eyes. When a wish is made, one pupil is colored in. When the wish comes true, the other eye should be colored in.
