This is a Japanese daruma. It is for the enjoyment and use of any nation caring to use it. It is a symbol of our well wishes to all nations in both the Imperial Annex and the World in general.

For those who do not know what the daruma is, here is some background for you:

A symbol of good luck and protection in Japan, a Daruma doll is traditionally given to someone starting a new venture, celebrating a birthday, or at the beginning of a New Year. At the start of an endeavor, one eye is painted and a wish is made for good luck. The other eye is painted when the goal is reached.

Verahs katarr! Pleasant wishes!

Lord Eliam J. R. Leinad, High Councilor of Dimelda
