Hello everyone! This is Saori from Kawaii Republic!

Today, I’ll introduce some perfect-for-New-Year goods a bit early! In Japan, these are lucky items! And they’ve combined with Rilakkuma to make something adorably unique!

So cute~! Daruma dolls are lucky items that started being displayed in the Edo period in Japan. The red color is believed to ward off evil and prevent illnesses! Over time, they’ve evolved into ornaments that help grant wishes. There’s even a tradition where you paint in the blank right eye once your wish comes true!

And this time, Daruma-inspired goods are coming from Rilakkuma! Made of smooth ceramic, they’re slightly smaller than the plushies. That’s part of their charm!

By the way...... it even has Rilakkuma’s signature ‘detail’ on the back! It’s a Daruma, but still definitely Rilakkuma! Everyone, place this Mini Darumakkuma (size: 60×55×45mm) in your home and bring in some happiness!
