Everyone in Japan knows what Daruma is. In case for people who don't know it, I will write down about a Daruma.

Daruma is a Japanese traditional doll modeled after Bodhidharma and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese.
According to one tradition, Bodhidharma gained a reputation for, among other things, his practice of wall-gazing. Legend claims that he sat facing a wall in meditation for a period of nine years without moving, which caused his legs and arms to fall off from atrophy.[2] Another popular legend is that after falling asleep during his nine-year meditation he became angry with himself and cut off his eyelids to avoid ever falling asleep again.
