DARUMA DOLL

While Wilson was at the zoo visiting his family, he met a very nice Japanese keeper, who told him about Daruma Dolls. 

She said that when she was a little girl in Tokyo she dreamed of looking after animals when she grew up, so she bought a Daruma Doll, made a wish and coloured in the doll's first eye.

Now that she is working in a zoo in Sussex she has coloured in the other eye, because her dream has come true!

Wilson was greatly touched by this innocent tale, and now that he's home, with access to his Art Materials, he has designed a Hi Wilson!®™ Daruma Doll for you!

What this girl apparently didn't mention to Wilson was the Daruma Doll's dark history, involving amputation and childhood smallpox. 

I probably won't mention that to him either…
