Originally made by local farmers as a side business, the vibrant red Takasaki Daruma has a history of over 200 years

They were believed to not only usher in good fortune and grant wishes, but also ward off bad luck and evil

The eyebrows of the Takasaki Daruma are styled as cranes and its beard like a turtle — both symbols of peace and longevity
