Japanese gifts for Toro Rosso

Toro Rosso on Facebook:

Whenever we come to Japan, we get some unusual gifts and the best ones are those made specially for us. This unusual looking face is what’s known as a Daruma. It was made for us by 5th Graders at the Suzuka Municipal Tsubaki Elementary School.

You draw one eye on the Daruma and make a wish and when it comes true you fill in the other one. The school kids have filled in the first one. “When you finish your race, please fill in the other eye” is the instruction we were given.
