DARUMA

Daruma is equivalent of Dharma, the Indian Buddhist saint.
The doll without arms and legs and round shpe always comes upright every time after it tumbles.
It attracts merchants, businessmen, candidates for election, candidates for schools, etc.
who whish good luck.

When you buy it, you put Daruma's left eye making wish, then
when you made your whish, put the other eye.
After you paint two eyes, take it to a temple or shrine and burn.
