This is Japan after all so Aizu and Fukushima in general couldn't not have its own version of Daruma. This one is called "Okiagari-koboshi" (起き上がり小法師) that is "the little priest who gets up", is available (mostly) in red and blue color and in many sizes and he is considered as lucky as the regular Daruma.
