LARGE. This charming Hime Daruma clay bell (姫だるま土鈴) is a delightful example of Japanese folk craftsmanship, hailing from the historic city of Kanazawa (金沢). Shaped in the form of a gentle-faced daruma doll with feminine features, the Hime Daruma represents grace, resilience, and good fortune, often associated with women and the hope for personal growth and success.
The bell is beautifully hand-painted with a scenic landscape of Kanazawa Castle and the famous Kenrokuen Garden during autumn, capturing the city's timeless elegance. The delicate brushwork and traditional motifs evoke a nostalgic charm, while the bell itself produces a soft, calming sound when shaken.
A red cord atop the head makes it easy to display or hang as a lucky charm (縁起物). Whether as a collector’s item, travel souvenir, or symbol of encouragement, this Hime Daruma dorei is a unique piece celebrating the culture and beauty of Kanazawa — one of Japan’s most culturally rich former castle towns.
