| Koshu Daruma |
It was made to imitate the face of Takeda Shingen, a Japanese military commander during that period.

This intricate craft is distinct for its deeply carved face with a high nose, oval shaped eyes, and eyebrows and beards shaped like cranes and turtles!
One type of Koshu Daruma is called “Koshu Oyako Daruma” (Daruma with a little child Daruma) and is an unusually rare design even in Japan.
As all of the Darumas are hand-crafted skillfully, there are not many existing craftsmen left in Kofu that make these dolls, although they are striving hard to keep the tradition alive even till today.
