Daikokuten is traditionally associated with prosperity that is built, protected, and sustained over time—more about steady abundance than sudden luck.
Seated with his mallet and sack, this compact figure is often chosen for spaces where work continues day by day, or where a household prefers calm confidence over display.
About this piece
This is a small Daikokuten figure carved from tsuge (boxwood), a dense, fine-grained wood valued for crisp detail at small scale. The form follows a widely recognized Japanese iconographic model—Daikokuten seated firmly, holding a mallet and a sack—an established type that has been made for generations for home altars, shop counters, and personal devotional settings. This piece is made in China and reflects that long-standing, workshop-based tradition of producing compact devotional images in durable hardwood.
Cultural note
In Japan, Daikokuten is venerated as one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) and is warmly regarded in everyday religious culture, especially in connection with livelihood, food, and the steady support of a household or business. Images like this are typically approached as more than decoration: people place them with a clear intention, keep the area around them tidy, and handle them with clean hands and a calm, respectful mindset. It is also common to avoid placing such figures directly on the floor or in spaces associated with disorder, treating the image as a presence to be acknowledged rather than a casual ornament.
