A lucky charm On New Yearʼs Eve, people in Hakata purchased a princess Daruma doll
that stands facing the lucky direction. On New Year's Day, there was a custom to display it on a Shinto altar, wishing for the family's safety for the year. The body is painted with pine、bamboo, and plum (an auspicious grouping)
