Some video I shot in 2001, from a visit to a Buddhist temple in Mitaka, Japan (a suburb of Tokyo) to shop for "daruma" with a friend of mine. To quote Wikipedia: "Daruma dolls (達磨), also known as 'dharma', are hollow and round Japanese wish dolls with no arms or legs, modelled after Bodhidharma. Typical colors are red (most common), yellow, green, and white. The doll has a face with a moustache and beard, but its eyes only contain the color white. Using black ink, one fills in a single circular eye while thinking of a wish. Should the wish later come true, the second eye is filled in. Until then the daruma is displayed in a high location in one's home, typically close to other significant belongings such as a Butsudan (a Buddhist praying box)." What really prompted me to post this was the bit at the end involving the bell and the two little girls, which I had completely forgotten about until I looked at the footage recently. NOTE: This is a slightly shorter version of a video I uploaded a few days ago.
