Daruma Doll Ornament

The Daruma Doll is a traditional Japanese symbol of perseverance, resilience, and good luck. At Ganekos Garden, you can use our Daruma Doll ornament as a wishing charm: fill in one eye when setting a goal and the other upon achieving it. Its round shape reflects the ability to overcome setbacks, inspired by the proverb "nana-korobi-ya-oki" (seven times down, eight times up). The ornament serves as a reminder of your goals and determination, making it a meaningful gift for encouragement.  Personalize your ornament with a phrase of your choice to be engraved on the back side of the ornament!  Please message me your wording request if you would like the ornament laser engraved.

*If using your ornament outdoors, I recommend applying Varathane's Ultimate Outdoor Spar Urethane Exterior Water Based Sealant to any part of your product exposed to the elements.  This will ensure the wood is protected from moisture and heat and will maintain the appearance of your product for its lifespan.   

Every piece of cedar wood is distinct, ensuring that each product is visually unique and handcrafted to order. Cedar is ideal for outdoor use due to its weather resistance, yet it will naturally grey over time unless treated with a sealant. For those who prefer to maintain the original hue, applying a wood sealant to non-stained items is recommended. Cedar is a softwood characterized by its unique grains, knots, and markings. We embrace these natural features, adding to the wood's charm, while avoiding any knots or marks that significantly detract from its appearance. The way cedar grains absorb stain also varies, which is part of the charm we find in our products. We trust you will also cherish these natural qualities and enjoy the beauty they bring to your garden.
