Princess Daruma features in a guerilla theater production staged at a school festival, confronting the Eccentric King, who imprisons her within a cell spanning precisely 4.5 tatami mats. This confined space symbolically mirrors daruma dolls—emblems of resilience and unwavering focus on objectives—while evoking themes of entrapment and tenacity. The play’s dialogue weaves in the aspirational motif of a "rose-colored campus life," reflecting youthful idealism and ambition. Her narrative intertwines with existential themes, particularly the tension between fate and coincidence, paralleling the protagonist’s contemplations on how seemingly random events interlink. Visual and thematic threads connect the daruma motif to apples, symbols of transient meetings and chance, reinforcing the interplay between perseverance and serendipity. Princess Daruma’s portrayal underscores determined endurance, aligning with the daruma’s cultural symbolism of triumph through persistent effort.
