Dharma doll (red)

The first Dharma dolls are said to have been made some 300
years ago at the Sorensen Dharma Temple in Takasaki City in
Gunma Prefecture, modeled after the Zen monk, Bodhidharma.
The eyebrows and beard represent the crane and the turtle, long
considered symbols of longevity in Japan, and the dolls are
popular as good luck charms.

It is traditional to paint in the left pupil (the right one facing you)
when you make a wish, and then paint in the right pupil when the
wish comes true.
Also, it is said to be most lucky to place the doll so that it faces
south.

In Japan, red and white are considered lucky and these are the
usual colors for a Dharma doll. There are other dolls with different
colors, based on oriental astrology, so you can select the color of
the doll based on the nature of your wish and your lucky color,
increasing the fun and perhaps the efficacy of the charm.

The color red is said to have the power to promote vitality and
bring good luck.It should be used to bring victory in work, study or
love, etc.
