Mihara Daruma
An adorable Daruma about the size of a fist, wearing a bean-patterned headband with wide-open eyes. This is the Mihara Daruma. Since around the end of the Edo period, headband-wearing Daruma began to be sold as lucky charms at the 'Shinmei Market,' which enshrines the Ise Grand Shrine, and was also known as the 'Daruma Market.' It is said that people would buy as many Daruma as there were family members, write each person's name and wishes on the back, and offer them to the household altar to pray for the safety of the family. After once falling into decline, the Mihara Daruma was brilliantly revived through the efforts of the preservation society members. Today, sweets and bread featuring the Daruma motif are also well-loved. It is a lucky item that heralds the arrival of spring in Mihara.
