Making wish come true…<br />
Master craftsman Sumikazu Nakata, President of the Gunma Daruma Manufacters Association putting the finishing touches<br />
on a daruma doll, a symbol of good luck, at a crafts shop in Takasaki city, Gunma province, Japan.<br />
Daruma dolls which have been locally made for 200 years are popular among Japanese politicians and business people who<br />
paint the right eye of the doll black when making a wish and when the wish comes true paints the left eye. End of the year is<br />
the busiest time for the doll makers, as people rush to make New Year wishes to overcome Japan’s lingering recession blues<br />
