Unlike traditional Daruma dolls which represent the monk Bodhidharma and are used for goal-setting, these are feminine representations designed as talismans for good luck, perseverance, and general fortune.

Type: Hime Daruma (Princess Daruma) or Onna Daruma (Lady Daruma) dolls. They are a variation of the traditional Daruma doll.
Purpose: They are considered good luck charms and symbols of perseverance and resilience. The weighted, rounded base (known as okiagari) allows them to return upright when tilted, symbolizing the ability to overcome adversity or misfortune ("seven times down, eight times up").
Design: These specific dolls appear to be covered in decorated fabric, likely silk brocade, and have painted white faces and hair (one red, one white). They often feature facial details symbolizing longevity, such as eyebrows in the shape of a crane and cheek hair resembling a tortoise shell.
Colors: The red doll typically represents general good luck and fortune, while white symbolizes purity, harmony, and peace (often given to newlyweds).
