New Year’s Daruma Workshop

Making New Year's promises is as easy as pie but keeping them might sometimes seem like climbing a mountain.


That's where the daruma, a fun, traditional Japanese good luck charm, comes in handy.

According to Buddhist legend, this little doll helps people stay focused and stick to their goals.

Simply color in one of its eyes when you decide on a goal—and the second when you complete it.

Want to have a go at crafting your very own daruma? Join artist Sanae Takahata for a hands-on workshop this month.

You can even give your daruma a snake theme to celebrate 2025’s zodiac animal.

Make your resolutions more fun and creative with this unique experience.
