An Impressive Festival Where Lots of Fuku-Daruma Dolls are Burned, Marking the Start of a New Year!

Widely known as "The Daruma Temple of Aichi," Daikoji Temple annually hosts a great festival beseeching a year of safety and health for the community's households. At this festival - that takes place on Japan's holiday of Coming of Age Day (Seijin-no-Hi) - the main attraction is the "Otakiage" event, during which piles and piles of spent Fuku-Daruma Dolls from the previous year are lit on fire and burned in enormous bonfires.

Daruma Dolls are fashioned after the image of Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk credited for creating Zen Buddhism in ancient China and known in Japan as Daruma. Originally sold with the eyeballs unpainted, the tradition is to offer a doll as a gift to someone who is setting objectives. The doll owner will then paint one of the eyes while asking Daruma for help in achieving it. The other eyeball is to be painted upon reaching of the goal, thus granting Daruma full eyesight.
Symbology, mysticism and legend surrounding Daruma dolls are quite interesting and well worth learning more about!
