The piece is a wonderful example of traditional Japanese mingei (folk art), celebrating the warmth of handmade craftsmanship and the symbolic power of perseverance and harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two Daruma are carved from a single block of wood and painted in soft yet expressive colors. One wears a deep plum-red robe with a white accent, while the other is adorned in a turquoise-blue garment with a floral motif. Their small, tender faces are full of expression, suggesting wisdom, age, and a sense of quiet support between the two figures. Huddled closely together, they appear as though weathering life’s seasons side by side evoking a sense of companionship and shared endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is mounted on a wooden base, and underneath it is inscribed 「会津彫」(Aizu-bori), indicating its origin in the Aizu region. There's also a handwritten note: 「仙台 24.9.20」Sendai, September 20th in the 24th year of the Heisei era (2012).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japanese culture, Daruma dolls are a symbol of resilience and good fortune. A Daruma couple, like this one, often represents a wish for long-lasting harmony, mutual support, and enduring love. Their unified form also implies the balance of yin and yang, or the spiritual closeness of a husband and wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5.5 x 3 x 4cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53328318726475,"sku":"FT137","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/1_20970396-1fd3-46a7-82f0-25ac1316f91c.jpg?v=1757333349","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/vintage-japanese-folk-carft-daruma-set","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
