A Daruma doll is a traditional Japanese doll with a face, blank eyes, but no arms or legs. It represents Bodhidharma, who founded Zen Buddhism. It's designed to return to an upright position when tilted, symbolising Japanese saying, "Fall seven times, stand up eight." People reportedly paint its one eye when making a wish and the other upon achieving it.
