Re: If Wishes Were Shurikens
Submitted with Design:
"Coming off of the last derby, I guess I still had Japan on the brain. I have an unused Daruma on my shelf, and it got me thinking about what I would wish for. Then, it got me thinking about people who wish and dream outside the box. So, I suppose the message behind my submission is: "Dream big. Be a ninja"? I can get behind that."
For those who don't know: a Daruma is a type of Japanese doll/charm that is used for good luck. When you make a wish, you fill in one of the Daruma's eyes; when the wish comes true, you fill in the other eye, and it is regarded as a symbol of good fortune! Festivals are held at the end of each year, during which people burn their lucky Daruma as a way of giving thanks. Neat concept. -:] Thanks for voting!
