Interesting photo it almost seems like a dream with all of the similar dolls of different sizes. What color are they in real life?

And would you mind if I included your site in the links section of my site?

Thanks Ahamed!
In real life, their color is red.
Dharma is a patriarch of Zen Buddhism and its doll is believed as a luck in Japan. Candidates buy the dolls in the election. At first they paint only one eye and when they win the election they paint another.

Thanks again for adding to your link section!

Yes, in B&W, this is definitely like something from a dream, those faces... I would also love to see this one in colour too.

I like Daruma dolls. I received one from a friend a while ago. Unfortunately, my wish still hasn't come true. :(

Thanks Joe!
If you continue to wish your success, it will come true someday, I guess. But I don't know how long it takes... :-P
