The Daruma is a traditiona japanese good luck charm that is supposed to help with wish fulfillment. Each color represents a different type of wish. Depicted is Bodhidharma (Dharma). Legend has it that Dharma once meditated for nine years and lost his legs as a result - for this reason, the Daruma is depicted without legs. The Daruma are traditionally red - based on the color of the priest`s robe - but six to seven other colors have since become established.
Meaning of the colors:
red: general wishes white: talent / progress / new start / purification yellow: business / wealth / prosperity pink: love / marriage purple: honor / assistance / help black: prosperity / protection from evil mint green: health / beauty / protection from fatigue
