Japanese Daruma Doll - Good Fortune

I've always been a fan of Japanese Culture and this my interpretation of a Japanese Daruma Doll.   The image was created using a combination of ChatGPT, Midjourney AI and Photoshop.

The Daruma doll is a traditional Japanese talisman symbolizing perseverance, good luck, and goal-setting. Modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, the Daruma is typically made of papier-mâché, is hollow and round, and designed to return to an upright position when tilted—reflecting the Japanese proverb "Nanakorobi yaoki" (七転び八起き), meaning "fall down seven times, get up eight."

Daruma dolls usually come in red, though other colors exist, and feature a bearded, stern face with blank white eyes. When someone sets a goal, they fill in one eye. Once the goal is achieved, they fill in the second eye as a sign of completion and gratitude. These dolls are popular around New Year’s and often burned in temple ceremonies to signify a fresh start.

Once the goal is identified, the left eye is filled in and the right eye is left blank.   Once the goal is achieved, the right eye can be filled in.    This is the first in a series of Daruma doll boards.

This is a new design that has a lot of detail (V2 Process), has a 3D appearance and can be used for visual goal setting reminder or displayed as a piece of art!!
