Omoto Daruma Doll (9301)

The Omoto Indigo Daruma is a unique piece of Japanese craftsmanship, handmade in Japan and dyed with indigo. Unlike a standard daruma, this version has been reimagined through the lens of denim culture, complete with a miniature denim stand and a playful beanie accessory. Each piece is carefully shaped and finished by hand, making every daruma slightly different — a true one-of-a-kind object.

A daruma is a traditional Japanese talisman symbolizing perseverance and good luck. Rooted in Zen Buddhism, it is modeled after Bodhidharma, the monk who founded the tradition. Darumas are often sold with blank eyes: you paint in one when setting a goal, and fill in the second once you’ve achieved it. They serve as a reminder of determination, resilience, and the importance of never giving up.

Omoto’s interpretation fuses this centuries-old tradition with denim heritage. The indigo dyeing gives the daruma a rich, living color that will develop character over time, just like your favorite pair of jeans. Displayed on its denim stand, it works both as a cultural artifact and as a stylish piece of interior decoration. The little beanie adds a touch of humor and personality, making it a great gift for denim enthusiasts or anyone looking for inspiration and good fortune.
