🌸 The Synonym for Japanese Ceramics The Hometown of Maneki-neko — Seto Ware ✨ Seto ware is a collective term for ceramics produced in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. Originating in the Kamakura period, it is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, boasting a 1300-year history. In 1977, Seto ware was designated as a Japanese Traditional Craft by the Japanese government, and in 2017, it was listed as "Japan Heritage." Furthermore, it was the first to produce glazed pottery and ceramic Maneki-neko, earning it the title of the "Hometown of Maneki-neko." In Japanese, "Setomono" is a synonym for ceramics, highlighting its widespread recognition and representative status. 💗 Not Just for Good Fortune, But for Wishes Too – Daruma, the Symbol of Unyielding Will Japanese Daruma dolls trace their origins back to the Edo period, modeled after the seated posture of Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism. They symbolize unwavering focus and indomitable spirit, originally prayed for to overcome famine and epidemics. Today, they remain an important Japanese good luck charm. Beyond bringing good fortune, Daruma dolls are often used to represent wishes that can be achieved through personal effort, such as academic success, business performance, or election campaigns. The patterns on the Daruma's face also carry auspicious meanings: the patterns on the eyebrows represent cranes, and the patterns on the beard represent turtles, both symbolizing good fortune and longevity. Red Daruma represents "Good Luck and Victory" and "Family Safety," while white Daruma signifies "Goal Achievement."

It is perfectly suited for placement in rooms, offices, or shops, helping you achieve your aspirations. ⭐ ※ Comes with a gift box. ※ Approximate Dimensions: Maximum diameter approx. 9cm x Total height approx. 9cm White Daruma: Maximum diameter approx. 3.5cm x Height 3.5cm Red Daruma: Maximum diameter approx. 9cm x Height 5.5cm ※ Each piece is handcrafted by artisans.
