Season’s Greetings 2026: May Your Wish Come True

The Daruma is cherished as a symbol of resilience, resolve and good fortune.

In Japan, it is traditionally received at New Year. The recipient makes a wish and paints one of the Daruma’s eyes; once the wish comes true, the second eye is drawn.

We have painted the first eye for you, now it is your turn to make a wish.
