The design

Our Daruma sits in deep meditation, framed by a subtle ensō and elements of a karesansui (dry stone garden). In Japan, Daruma figures are modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen, and are kept as talismans of perseverance and good fortune. Many people paint one eye when setting a goal and the other when it’s fulfilled – a small ritual that turns intention into action. The ensō alludes to emptiness and wholeness, while raked gravel and stone forms suggest calm seas and islands – classic Zen garden symbolism. Together, these motifs create a wearable prompt to sit, breathe, and return to the present.
