The Daruma doll is a Japanese traditional doll. Daruma dolls are
seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck. The eyes of Daruma
are often blank when sold. Daruma’s blank eyes are means to keep
track of goals or big tasks and motivate them to work to the finish.
The recipient of the doll fills in one eye upon setting the goal, then the
other upon fulfilling it. In this way, every time they see the one-eyed
Daruma, they recall the goal.
