The listing, Hello Kitty daruma has ended.
I call this the ultimate Japanese Hello Kitty bc it combines a modern character with a historical one, both from Japan. The daruma is like a talisman for good luck/fortune. This one has characteristics of Hello Kitty and pink instead of the traditional red. Has some stains on the front lower pink area--I didn't attempt to clean it bc thought paint might wear off, but I did touch up the face with some white acrylic. Measures about 4.75" h by 4.25" w. Has a weighted bottom and hollow, made of paper mache--like the traditional darumas. Bid well...I almost didn't want to part with it. Will be shipped Saturday after auction ends. Thanks for viewing!
