One of these stories involves our Daruma san.

The Story
Daruma painted on a hanging scroll, looks lifeless into a room. The lady of the home goes to bed early, because her husband is out drinking. She leaves a flask of ricewine and a cup on the table for him, just in case.



When she leaves the room, the Daruma from the scroll suddenly rolls over, into the room and starts drinking the flask of ricewine. When he gets drunk he begins to dance around the room, using wooden clappers to keep the rythm. He suddenly has arms and legs coming out of his round red body here and there. He makes a lot of noise so the lady of the house wakes up.

When she enters the room, Daruma makes a sudden retreat into his hanging scroll, but in the haste he hangs in there now showing his backside, no face. The lady looks at the changed scroll and shakes in wonder.
