Daruma Otoshi

Daruma Otoshi is a traditional game played with a daruma doll split in five pieces, usually in the colors of the rainbow, from top to bottom: head - a man's face, blue, green, yellow, red.

The game is played by using a small hammer to hit each of the colored pieces, from bottom to the top, without letting the pieces fall during the game.

Daruma refers to Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk, founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism, and known in Japanese as Daruma
