七転八起 "nana-korobi ya-oki" : 

Japanese proverb or saying "nanakorobi yaoki" roughly translates to: “Fall down seven times, get up eight times” or “seven times down, eight times up”. Life is full of ups and downs, but you must persevere! It’s similar to the English expression “If you fall off your horse, get right back on.” So, the next time life gets you down, remember the Japanese phrase 七転八起 (nanakorobi yaoki) and get back up again!

Japanisches Sprichwort 七転八起 „nana-korobi y-aoki“:

bedeutet „Siebenmal hinfallen, achtmal wieder aufstehen“.

Der Daruma ist auch ein Stehaufmännchen. Das Leben ist voller Höhen und Tiefen, aber Sie müssen durchhalten! Es ähnelt dem englischen Ausdruck „Wenn du vom Pferd fällst, steige gleich wieder auf.“ Wenn Sie also das nächste Mal vom Leben erschüttert werden, denken Sie an den japanischen Ausdruck 七転八起 (nanakorobi yaoki) und stehen Sie wieder auf!

History

*Daruma is modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism. Woodblock print by Yoshitoshi 1887.

"だるま DARUMA"  is a hollow, round, Japanese traditional amulet, tumbler doll modeled after 'Bodhidharma', the founder of Zen sect of Buddhism. Bodhidharma was a Buddhist monk who lived during 5th/6th century AD.

Legend claims that he sat facing a wall in meditation for a period of nine years without moving, which caused his legs to fall off from atrophy. Therefore Daruma doll doesn't have legs.

 

Nowadays "Daruma" is regarded more as a bringer of good luck. Daruma doll is weighted on the bottom, so it always recovers upright position whenever it is swinging. As such, It is a symbol of revival and "never giving up" to reaching the objective, as it always stands up positively.

 

Initially, the doll has eyes without pupils. Oversized symmetrical round blank white eyes mean to keep track of goals or big tasks and motivate them to work of the finish. The owner of the doll fills in the left eye of the Daruma, upon setting the goal and makes a wish. And at later stage, add the right eye when and if the wish comes true.
