Japanese wishing dolls were originally modelled after Daruma, the monk credited with founding Zen Buddhism. Japan Best's contemporary set is handmade from papier-mâché with painterly, gestural lines in gleaming gold and silver. Colour in their first pupil to make a wish, and the second once it's fulfilled – the tradition dates back centuries.
