A compact Daikokuten figure finished with kirikane—fine, geometric gold-leaf detailing applied with careful precision.
Carved in tsuge (boxwood) and shown seated with mallet and sack, this piece brings together clean form and disciplined surface work for a calm, refined presence.
About this piece
This statue is carved from tsuge boxwood and completed with kirikane, a traditional finishing method in which slender cuts of gold leaf are laid into measured patterns by hand. The model follows the established Daikokuten iconography seen across Japanese devotional art—seated, composed, and holding the mallet and sack—adapted here at a small scale suited to intimate display. Kirikane is used in Japanese Buddhist craft as a formal, workshop-taught decorative discipline, valued for its clarity and control; applying it to Daikokuten creates a surface that feels ordered and intentional rather than ornate.
Cultural note
In Japan, Daikokuten is widely known as a benevolent figure associated with everyday well-being and good fortune, and is also counted among the Seven Lucky Gods in popular tradition. Images like this may be kept in homes or places of work as a quiet reminder of steadiness and gratitude, and they are generally approached with a respectful, settled mindset rather than treated as casual décor. A common way to relate to such an image is to place it somewhere clean and calm, avoid putting it directly on the floor, and handle it with care—especially around the face and hands—so the figure is not treated as a mere object.
