{"product_id":"ft421-kyoto-style-daruma-だるま","title":"FT421 - Kyoto-style Daruma だるま","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Kyoto-style Daruma (だるま) is a small hanging folk ornament that reflects the refined simplicity and symbolic richness of Kyoto’s traditional crafts. Unlike the more commonly seen round Daruma figures, this piece features a softly tapered, gourd-like form, giving it a gentle and approachable presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted and painted in vivid vermilion red—an auspicious color believed to ward off evil and invite good fortune—the Daruma displays a serene, minimalist face with delicate brushwork. The expression is calm and introspective, embodying perseverance and quiet determination, qualities long associated with Daruma as a symbol of resilience and goal-setting in Japanese culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the base, stylized blue and white motifs add a subtle decorative accent, while the back is inscribed with 「交通安全」 (kōtsū anzen), meaning “traffic safety.” This indicates its role as a protective charm, often carried or hung to ensure safe travels and protection on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspended by a cord, this Daruma is designed as a talisman rather than a static ornament—lightweight and portable, it can be hung in a car, doorway, or personal space. Its slightly irregular surface and hand-painted details speak to its folk origins, where individuality and warmth are valued over uniformity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 4 x 4 x 5cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56999543570763,"sku":"FT421","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_b3e6c751-eae4-4e49-86d0-5872f941373c.jpg?v=1775852671","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/ft421-kyoto-style-daruma-%e3%81%a0%e3%82%8b%e3%81%be","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
