5.00Great experience! One first learns something about the Daruma and then it is time to paint. It was a lot of fun, and as a keepsake, one gets to take home their unique Daruma. The organizer was simply wonderful as well!
Daruma Painting Fun, and unforgettable souvenir

5.00Daruma Club was such a fun experience. Yuji was a fantastic instructor, super patient and easygoing, and he laughed right along with us as we struggled through our kanji. He gave helpful ideas, and it was really special getting to see how the daruma are actually made and painted. I painted mine with the wish of successfully publishing my book, and my mom chose health, wealth, and happiness. It made the whole experience feel really personal. Honestly, this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and our darumas will definitely be some of our most treasured souvenirs when we get back to Canada.
Wonderful time !
