TRADITION and MODERNITY
伝統 最新
We have created Daruma dolls that
combine tradition
and the latest design,
represented by "Amabie Daruma"
and "Gradient Daruma," in a new and innovative way.
Continuing to pass on traditional crafts that are in line with the times.
I wanted to convey the charm to people overseas.
I participated in exhibitions abroad and appeared in foreign media.
From that experience,
I was convinced that Japanese traditional crafts
can be appreciated internationally.
However, the world entered the COVID-19 pandemic,
and I couldn't do what I wanted as planned.
Nevertheless, during my overseas trips,
I was inspired by designs from abroad
that I experienced with my five senses.
I developed the "Amabie Daruma" to turn adversity
into opportunity.
Starting from zero sales, it has become a major hit
with over 40,000 units sold.
At the same time,
I also created the unique design of the "Gradient Daruma,"
combining tradition and contemporary design.
I continue to convey traditional crafts
with designs that are in line with the times.

We value our conversations with customers.
The 5th generation personally conveys
their thoughts and charm through
"On-site painting experience."
Through reverse import from overseas,
we have appeared on various famous TV programs and now,
with the attention on Amabie Daruma,
