Last year we went to the Daruma temple in Gumma! Daruma is an oval figure standing up even if you try to knock it down. It represents the effort to achieve a goal without giving up. People paint the pupil of one of his eyes when starting a challenge and the other when succeed. You must climb an insane amount of stairs to access the main building "without giving up"! Daruma is very loved in Japan!
@melania very cool!
