The Daruma is decorated with expressive hand-painted features and the kanji 福 (fuku), meaning “good fortune” or “blessing.” A long wooden mallet is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaruma Otoshi literally means “Daruma dropping.” To play, the pieces are stacked vertically with the Daruma on top. Using the wooden mallet, the player strikes the lower blocks one at a time from the side, attempting to knock each one out while keeping the Daruma balanced above. The challenge becomes increasingly delicate as the tower gets shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Daruma itself is one of Japan’s best-known symbols of perseverance, resilience, and good luck, closely connected with the saying nanakorobi yaoki (七転び八起き) — “fall seven times, rise eight.” This makes Daruma Otoshi more than a simple children’s game: it humorously puts the Daruma’s legendary ability to survive repeated falls into practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5 x 5 x 22cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58315713511755,"sku":"FT554","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_c3b8c85c-e44f-43f8-986e-2d85d41317cc.jpg?v=1788199585","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/products\/ft554-daruma-otoshi-folk-toy-%e9%81%94%e7%a3%a8%e8%90%bd%e3%81%a8%e3%81%97","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
