Good luck charms for the New Year, Sankaku Daruma Dolls

Sat, December 30, 2017, by Muza-chan
The Niigata variant of the well known Daruma Dolls is conical, being called Sankaku (triangle) Daruma Doll. Like the usual dolls, they are good luck charms bought at the beginning of the New Year, symbolizing good fortune and protection for the family because they never fall down, being in fact tilting dolls. Unlike the usual Daruma, they are sold with the eyes already painted.
