Dog Daruma

My “Eto Daruma” design has been selected as the key visual for Bambu Lab Japan’s store! This model is a fusion of the dog zodiac sign (Inu) and a daruma. The Japanese zodiac (Eto or Junishi) is a traditional calendar system that assigns a different animal to each year in a 12-year cycle. Originally introduced from China, this system evolved uniquely in Japan and includes the following 12 animals:1. Rat (Ne)2. Ox (Ushi)3. Tiger (Tora)4. Rabbit (U)5. Dragon (Tatsu)6. Snake (Mi)7. Horse (Uma)8. Sheep (Hitsuji)9. Monkey (Saru)10. Rooster (Tori)11. Dog (Inu)12. Boar (I) Each year corresponds to one of these animals, symbolizing the personality and fortune of people born in that year. In Japan, the zodiac is widely incorporated into New Year’s card designs, festive decorations, fortune-telling, and symbols of good luck. https://x.com/BambulabJapan/status/1869956563353645334?t=JGeheBdgRPCQXaE1LsqeOw&s=19
