Daruma Cat

The eyes of the Daruma is often used as a way to keep track of goals. The owner of the doll will fill in one eye to mark their goal, and fill in the other once they have achieved it, resulting in "full sight" for the Daruma.

Daruma dolls are traditionally made and distributed on the New Year, then at the end of the year, once the goal is achieved, they are brought back to the temple for a burning ceremony.
