- Good Luck Charm
Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll or often called a "goal doll". It is based on a sage monk who lived in the 5th-6th century in China. He is the father of Zen Buddhism. Legend claims that he sat facing a wall in meditation for a period of nine years without moving, which caused his legs and arms to waste away.
The doll is closely associated with a Japanese proverb, "nana korobi yaoki (Fall down seven times, get up eight)". It is similar to the English expression , “If you fall off your horse get right back on”.

- Incense Holder
The Zen series Incense holder is inspired by Zen Philosophy, specifically the practice of Zazen meditation. In Zazen, a monk would burn incense to measure the meditation time.
Our incense holders come in two shapes: "enso" and "kyosaku".
"Enso" represents the Zen circle of enlightenment. It symbolizes pure emptiness and the liberation that comes from meditation practice.
"Kyosaku" is a flat wooden stick. During Zazen, if a practitioner feels sleepy or lacks concentration, they can request the kyosaku. The Master gently strikes the shoulders with the kyosaku, inducing a sense of relaxation and helping the practitioner continue their meditation in a focused state. This action is not meant to be harsh or punishing in any way.
