"Victory" doll making in full swing ahead of election

A craftsman of the Japanese traditional "daruma" doll paints the word "hissho" (victory) on the doll's body in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, in central Japan on June 13, 2016, as making of the doll, a fixture in Japanese election campaigns, is in full swing ahead of the July 10 upper house election. The daruma doll is usually on sale with both eyes left blank, and the buyer paints the pupil in one eye in making a certain wish. When the wish comes true, the other eye is painted, a scene often seen after a candidate wins an election. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
