This artificial plant is the answer to these people's problems, and even better, it doesn't require any watering or trimming! Place it in your living room or by your front door and it'll not only brighten up the room with a spruce of green, but add a Japanese atmosphere that'll help you relax in the space even more.

Don't you find the way the water runs down the three "steps" to be rather artistic?

9. Edo Daruma (Large) Great Seer Red | Edo Art Dolls
Score: ★★★★☆
This is yet another decoration made using Edo Kirikomi doll techniques, called a "daruma." In the past, the red color reminded one of fire and meant "passion" or "liveliness," and because the nature of fire was to rise up and up, the red color eventually took on the meaning of "good fortune" as well. Furthermore, the color also protected one against evil and even stood for loyalty according to Buddhist teachings. There's a lot of luck embedded in this daruma doll, which is why it's used as a good luck charm. You've probably noticed that both eyes don't have any pupils. When you make a wish, you fill in the left eye, and when it comes true, you fill in the right. May your dreams come true with this daruma doll!
