Baruma doll バルマ Digital Art Print

$4.50 $15.00

The Daruma, a traditional Japanese doll, is modeled after a monk who is said to have been the founder of Zen Buddhism. Often red and depicting the bearded monk's face, these dolls are seen as a symbol of good luck. Among Egyptians, a famous satirical expression is "wakla'h el baruma," which translates to "screwed over by life" or "down on your luck". Perhaps some Zen meditation is the perfect antidote to this sad, fez-wearing dude rolled up in that Daruma doll..
