How terrible, horrible, vegetable can my observations be? Well, back to the dolls, they are called----Daruma Dolls
"Daruma dolls (達磨 daruma), also known as dharma dolls, are hollow and round Japanese wish dolls with no arms or legs, modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder and first patriarch of Zen.[1] Typical colors are red (most common), yellow, green, and white. The doll has a face with a mustache and beard, but its eyes only contain the color white. Using black ink, one fills in a single circular eye while thinking of a wish. Should the wish later come true, the second eye is filled in. It is traditional to fill in the right eye first; the left eye is left blank until the wish is fulfilled."
from Wikipedia.
According to the workers, the dolls were placed once the Japanese engineers successfully set up the machine, and they'll have a kenduri there.
Something to mention, The dolls in WD media only have 1 eye. So I guess the Japanese engineers made a wish : " hope that the machine will be able to run for ever !!"
And some says that if you shift the doll, the machine can't work well!!!
Believe it??? You better do.
