Coloring page & WIP: Daruma

Added 2024-11-27 01:12:32 +0000 UTC

Listen. I’m a weeb, okay, but I come by it honestly. Asian culture is so prevalent in Hawai’i that you absorb and celebrate it daily, and I’m so glad that it’s part of my everyday life. I especially love koinobori (the koi kite) and daruma dolls (the head). I have a sweet story about a daruma — my sister gave my mother a daruma, which usually come with blank eyes. You paint one in and make a wish, a goal. When you reach that goal, you paint the other eye in. My mom’s goal was to hold her grandbaby, my son, which she did, and enjoyed a year with him before she passed away. That daruma is very special to me.

What would your goal be?
