KAGAMI Crystal Iwai Daruma Ornament / 江戸切子 祝だるま

Brilliantly crafted from vivid golden red overlay crystal, this Edo Kiriko Daruma is brought to life through a combination of delicate cut and sandblasting techniques by Kagami Crystal.

Unlike the traditional Daruma that begins with a single blank eye, the Iwai Daruma gazes with both eyes open. In Japanese belief, this ensures unwavering focus, dispels misfortune, and symbolises the certainty of prayers being fulfilled. With both eyes clear and bright, it becomes a powerful charm for long-lasting happiness, protection, and success.

The Daruma itself holds a special place in Japanese culture. Modelled after Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, it is regarded as a talisman of perseverance and resilience. Traditionally, one eye is painted when setting a goal, and the other is completed when the goal is achieved—a ritual of determination and accomplishment. The Iwai Daruma carries this legacy further, embodying not only perseverance but also blessings for a complete and harmonious life.

Presented in a wooden box, this exquisite ornament stands as both a meaningful gift and a timeless symbol of good fortune.

As each piece is handmade in Japan, slight variations in size, weight, colour, or texture may occur, reflecting the individuality and authenticity of artisanal craftsmanship.
