Please consider this before collecting. ★Inspiration for Design Since ancient times, Daruma dolls in Japan have held deep historical and symbolic meaning, representing wishes for family peace, career success, and stability. Their unwavering posture symbolizes resilience in adversity and the pursuit of dreams. The "crane" on the Daruma's eyebrows and the "turtle" in its beard signify blessings for health and longevity. ★Design Concept The Daruma palette on this piece is exceptionally unique. Moving away from the traditional red, this fabric features a base of ocean blue, with olive green and brown hues forming the Daruma image. Behind it, a fan-shaped landscape motif unfolds, exuding a subtle yet elegant charm. The reverse side showcases a gray and coffee-colored checkerboard pattern, echoing the understated tones of the Daruma motif with a warm luster reminiscent of ancient Japanese wooden architecture. The entire piece is crafted from antique Japanese fine wool and faux cashmere, offering a soft texture with a graceful drape. The ends feature contrasting satin and Japanese woven fabric, adding visual dynamism. One end is slightly elongated, adorned with a three-dimensional alloy "shou" (longevity) charm. This subtle asymmetry lends a touch of playfulness, breaking away from the conventional, dated impression of traditional motifs. When worn, it provides gentle warmth, suitable for spring, autumn, and winter. Given its serene color scheme and the auspicious symbolism of the Daruma motif, this piece is also wonderfully suited for men.
