A charming and intricately carved Wood Okimono of the Japanese Lucky God Ebisu. He has a joyful expression on his face as he holds under his arm a giant carp. His right hand raised in the air and holding a knife ready to gut his catch. He stands triumphant with one foot raised from the ground as if dancing a jig.
Condition is very good. Please feel free to contact us for additional images, to discuss pricing or to arrange a viewing.

In Japan the seven lucky gods or seven gods of fortune grant good luck and are often represented as a group or on their own in Japanese art. There are seven gods but sometimes only six will be depicted as Jurojin and Fukurokuju share the same origin.

Carp
Due to them being the only fish to conquer the waterfalls of the yellow river carp represent courage and strength in Japanese culture, the gift of a Koi carp is believed to grant the receiver great strength.
