Wishes for good fortune carved in wood
In Japan, a small object charged with a wish is placed nearby and left to quietly do its work. T-Lab adopts this tradition with its engimon made of albizia wood, starting with the daruma, then the zodiac series. For the Year of the Snake in 2025, the brand released a limited edition of snakes with gold, red, and silver patterns. Some hold themselves in pairs, mouths forming “ah” and “un” like the lion-dogs of shrines. Others raise their tails like the maneki neko, inviting luck to come in.
T-LAB GOOD LUCK CHARMS
What each figurine tells
The daruma engimon
A round, smiling figure, available in mini and gold versions. It sits at eye level, on a desk or a shelf.
The Year of the Serpent
For 2025, T-Lab has released a limited edition zodiac series. The snakes come in gold, red, and silver patterns.
Nikoichi, two in one
The duo features two snakes adorned with gold and red ornaments, their curves forming a smile. Their mouths take the shape of "ah" and "un," like the lion-dogs of shrines.
Maneki snake, tail raised

Four snakes in four different colors, combined in a single box. The figurines are also sold individually or in pairs.
A light wood and a plant-based paint
Albizia Falcata wood comes from responsibly managed forests, and the colors are hand-applied using plant-based paint. As a decorative item, it is not suitable for young children.
