Takeuchi Daruma
Founded in 1937 in Takasaki — Japan's home of daruma — Takeuchi Daruma continues the tradition of handcrafted daruma-making.
Blending time-honored techniques with modern sensibility, each daruma is carefully shaped and painted by skilled artisans, known for its refined finish and expressive character.
Alongside classic Takasaki daruma, the company created KOGANE, a line designed to bring daruma into contemporary living spaces. Every piece is made with care, carrying wishes and encouragement into everyday life.
Company name: Takeuchi Daruma
Established: 1937
Address: 366-2 Nakatoyooka-machi, Takasaki, Gunma, Japan

Set an eye, seal a wish
The final brush stroke — one eye painted, one wish made.
Display and live with it
