Daruma, boneka berbentuk bulat, umumnya
berwarna merah dengan wajah putih dan alis tebal dan area mata putih kosong,
bagian mata ini harus digambar sendiri oleh kita sebagai pengingat tujuan dan
mimpi.
Daruma, a round-shaped doll,
usually comes in red color with a white face and thick eyebrows and blank white
area of the eye, in which the eyes part should be drawn solely by us as a
reminder of our goals and dreams.
Filosofi Daruma sangat menarik, saat
mendapatkan Daruma, kita dapat menentukan tujuan (goals, dreams) kita dan kemudian menggambar satu mata di wajah
Daruma, hanya di mata bagian kanan. Mata kiri hanya boleh digambar saat tujuan
kita tercapai, jadi boneka ini semacam pengingat akan tujuan kita dan terus
gigih untuk memperjuangkan keinginan kita :)
Daruma has a very
interesting philosophy, while getting the Daruma, we can set our goals (and
also dreams) and then we draw the eye in the face of Daruma, just the right
eye. The left eye could only be drawn when our goal is achieved, so this doll
is a kind of reminder of our goals and to continue persevering and fighting for
our dreams :)

Bentuk Daruma adalah gambaran dari Bodhidharma,
founder dari Zen dalam Buddha. Meski dahulu Daruma selalu digambarkan dalam
warna merah, kini Daruma sudah menjadi souvenir khas Jepang dalam berbagai
warna yang masing-masing merepresentasikan arti yang berbeda.
The shape of Daruma is a
picture of Bodhidharma, founder of Zen in Buddhism. Although in the past Daruma
was always depicted in red, now Daruma has become souvenirs of Japan in a
variety of colors, each of which represents a different meaning.

Daimonya Takasaki adalah rumah bagi Daruma, ada begitu banyak Daruma yang tidak dapat dihitung lagi banyaknya, diproduksi di Daimonya. Sejak tiba di bangunan ini saya sudah tertarik dengan Daruma besar di bagian depan, dan saat masuk kita langsung berhadapan dengan deretan Daruma merah yang tersusun rapi dalam berbagai ukuran.
Daimonya Takasaki is a home to Daruma, Daruma there are so many Darumas which cannot be counted anymore in terms of number, produced in Daimonya. Since arriving in this building, I was fascinated by the giant Daruma in the front, and when we entered the building immediately, we were directly faced to face to a row of red Daruma which are neatly arranged in various sizes.
Namun, keseruan sesungguhnya ada di sisi belakang toko yang menjual Daruma berbagai jenis dan ukuran ini, terdapat “pabrik” pembuatan Daruma persis di sisi toko.
However, the real excitement
of the store that sells Daruma various t`ypes and sizes is that there is a
Daruma-making "factory" right beside the store.
Warna merah memenuhi pemandangan di dalam workshop, bulatan-bulatan merah bagaikan buah cherry ada di mana-mana, sangat menyenangkan. Di sini sebagian besar Daruma yang sudah dicat dasar, umumnya merah, dikeringkan, dan kemudian alis khas Daruma dilukis dengan tangan satu per satu.
The red color dominates the
workshop's, the round-shaped darumas look like cherries which are hung
everywhere, very pleasant. Here most of the Darumas have been painted with its
base color, generally in red, dried, and then the typical Daruma eyebrows were
painted by hand one by one.
Pemilik Daimonya, Jun-ichi Nakata adalah
seniman pembuat Daruma. Ia telah belajar membuat Daruma turun temurun dan mengembangkan
kreasinya menjadi pabrik dan workshop besar pembuatan Daruma. Di Daimonya,
Takasaki, kita dapat mencoba membuat Daruma kita sendiri. Jangan khawatir, yang
kita lakukan “hanya” menggambar alis sang Daruma, yang meski tampak mudah,
ternyata sulit dilakukan.
The owner of Daimonya,
Jun-ichi Nakata is a Daruma maker artis. He has learned to make Daruma
hereditary and develops his creation into a large factory and a Daruma
manufacturing workshop. In Daimonya, Takasaki, we can try to make our own
Daruma. Do not worry, we should "only" draw the eyebrows Daruma,
which although looks easy, it is difficult to do.
Saya dan teman-teman berusaha menggambar alis Daruma sebaik mungkin, namun ternyata hasilnya jauh sekali dari yang biasa dibuat oleh Jun-ichi Nakata hanya dalam waktu beberapa detik saja.
My friends and I tried to
draw eyebrows Daruma as great as possible, but the result was a far cry from
the usual made by Jun-ichi Nakata in just a few seconds.

Usai membuat Daruma, Jun-ichi mengajak kami
melihat sisi lain dirinya. Kami berjalan ke garasi yang berada di area yang
sama dengan Daimonya, dan ternyata ada mobil balap yang jadi andalan Jun-ichi
Nakata untuk berkompetisi. Ia bahkan sudah menyabet beberapa gelar juara :)
After making Daruma,
Jun-ichi invites us to see another side of him. We walked to the garage located
in the same area as Daimonya, and it turns out there racing cars that Jun-ichi
Nakata always rides to compete. He has even won a few titles :)
Visit ke Daimonya sangat menyenangkan, bukan
hanya karena jajaran Daruma yang menarik, workshop membuat Daruma yang
menyenangkan, namun juga saya melihat sisi lain dari seorang seniman Daruma
yang ternyata menyukai adu kecepatan di balap mobil, cukup kontras dengan
pekerjaannya yang meneruskan warisan budaya.
Visiting Daimonya is very
fun, not only because of the attractive rows of Daruma and the workshop, but I
also see the other side of a Daruma artist who turns to love car racing, quite
a contrast to the continuing work of cultural heritage.
Saya membawa pulang Daruma yang bermata kosong, let me think of a goal and let’s see what happen years after..
