Dr Greve,
I happened upon your Daruma blog earlier this week and have found it incredibly interesting and useful. Thank you very much for your efforts in compiling and posting all this wonderful information and beautiful pictures.

Hello Gabi Greve,

My name is xxxxx and I got your email from your website about Darumas.

I just wanted to say 'hello' and thank you for putting all your knowledge about Darumas on the internet...and in English too. I am going to try and read more of your website to find out more.

Only recently did I find out about the stroy and what it meant. I had always seen them but never knew what the story behind it was. Luckily I will be visiting Japan in a fortnight and I want to take this opportunity to buy a Daruma in Japan. Please could you advise me about what you think?

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you again for your efforts in the website!
