The saying that travels with it is \u003cem\u003enana korobi ya oki\u003c\/em\u003e, fall seven times, rise eight. This Daruma plush pillow keeps the fierce brows, the swirling beard and the wide, unblinking stare, and trades papier-mache for something you can lean on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pillow is cut to the outline of the figure rather than to a square, and stands about 16 in tall (40 cm). The design is printed on both faces of a micro plush fabric that feels closer to a soft toy than to a sofa cushion. A polyester fiber filling keeps it full enough to hold its shape on a couch and soft enough to hug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix designs follow the color tradition of the dolls. Red with the kanji 勝, victory, is the classic. Black and gold carries a chrysanthemum crest among rolling clouds. Navy sets a golden sun above a field of waves, and green wraps the figure in bamboo and pine, two plants that stand for endurance. Pink is scattered with cherry blossoms, and cream with red plum blossoms, the first flower of the Japanese year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a doll, the eyes are left blank and filled in one at a time, the first when a goal is set, the second when it is reached. This one arrives with both eyes open, which suits a pillow meant to keep watch from a sofa, a bed, a reading corner or a desk chair. Daruma are traditionally given at the start of something: a new job, an exam season, a business opening or a move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: about 16 in (40 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: micro plush polyester, printed front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling: polyester fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigns: 1 Black and Gold, 2 Sakura Pink, 3 Plum Blossom Cream, 4 Victory Red, 5 Navy Wave, 6 Bamboo Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover not removable, spot clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JAPAN CLOTHING","offers":[{"title":"6","offer_id":54641972707675,"sku":"14:200006151#6","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4","offer_id":54641972740443,"sku":"14:200002984#4","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5","offer_id":54641972773211,"sku":"14:496#5","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2","offer_id":54641972805979,"sku":"14:366#2","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3","offer_id":54641972838747,"sku":"14:10#3","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1","offer_id":54641972871515,"sku":"14:29#1","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/daruma-plush-pillow-black-gold-chrysanthemum.jpg?v=1793875211","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/daruma-plush-pillow","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
