Sanrio Characters - Gudetama - Daruma - Yellow (Usaburo Kokeshi)Gudetama · Usaburo Kokeshi

This Gudetama Daruma figure is produced by Usaburo Kokeshi as part of their Sanrio Characters line. The figure stands approximately 30mm tall and comes in a yellow colorway. Gudetama is one of Sanrio's most popular modern characters, depicting a lazy, unmotivated egg with a perpetually melancholic expression. The character embodies a sense of apathy and listlessness that has resonated strongly with modern audiences. This figure reimagines Gudetama in the form of a daruma doll, a traditional Japanese good luck charm that symbolizes perseverance and goal-setting. The contrast between Gudetama's lazy personality and the determined spirit that daruma dolls represent creates a charming and humorous design. Usaburo Kokeshi is a traditional kokeshi doll manufacturer based in Ikaho, Gunma Prefecture, with a history of crafting wooden dolls. The figure is made from Mizuki, a type of dogwood, and weighs approximately 10g. It was released in January 2019 as a standard edition.
