イメージとしては、奥の茶色が私、手前の右が長女、左が次女。

先日行った高崎はたまたま「だるま」の名産地だったので、

これは良いと買い求めました。

 

3人で「パパの映画がうまく行くことをいのって、書くのよ!」と

一人一個ずつ手に取り、黒のマジックペンで片目にコキコキコキ・・・

 

書いて10秒で「もうかなった? うまくいった?」と

もう一つの目にも黒を入れようとするのを「ダメダメダメ!」と制止。

 

これをリビングに飾って、思いたっぷりに見つめています。

 

両方の目が開く時・・ゴールはやっぱり、来年春の一般劇場公開の日でしょうか。

The Daruma doll (達磨 daruma?), also known as a Dharma doll, is a hollow, round, Japanese traditional doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting a bearded man (Dharma), vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist. Though considered an omocha, meaning toy, by some, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese. Daruma dolls are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular gift of encouragement. The doll has also been commercialized by many Buddhist temples to use alongside goal setting.
