The "Seven Down's & Eight Up's Takasaki Daruma" is a a special edition by Iwai Daruma. It is the first in his design Daruma series.
The six lines on the front of Daruma indicate that time passes from the past to the future. On each side of Daruma, the concept of “Seven Downs & Eight Ups” is written as a mathematical formula. This comes from the proverb is “Nana korobi, ya oki” which means “Fall down seven times, stand up eight.” It means choosing to never give up hope, and to always strive for more.
With the colour choices of white, black, red, as well as this special series in Gold and Silver, many people enjoy Designer’s Daruma as an interior décor.
