Daikokuten is shown seated in a calm, steady posture, holding a mallet and a sack—an enduring form associated with everyday abundance and the kind of prosperity that supports work, family, and continuity.
This piece presents that familiar image with a grounded presence, suited to spaces where you want a quiet reminder of preparedness and reliable daily rhythm rather than display.
About this piece
Carved from Keyaki (zelkova) wood, this Daikokuten figure is made as a compact, self-contained sculpture with clearly defined attributes—the mallet and the sack—integrated into the seated composition. The model follows a widely recognized Daikokuten iconographic type long used in Japanese devotional and decorative sculpture, where the attributes are essential to identifying the figure at a glance. This form is commonly produced for home and workplace settings as a practical, approachable representation within the broader tradition of the Seven Lucky Gods imagery.
Cultural note
In Japan, Daikokuten is widely known as one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) and is associated with good fortune connected to livelihood—especially food, household stability, and steady prosperity. Images like this are often treated with simple respect: placed thoughtfully, kept clean, and approached with a calm intention rather than as a casual ornament. Many people avoid placing such figures directly on the floor; a small shelf, cabinet, or raised surface is a common choice, and handling is typically done with clean hands and a mindful attitude.

Consecration (Eye-opening Ceremony)
You can choose an option to consecrate this statue before shipping from Japan. If you select this option, we will bring the statue for an eye-opening ceremony and ship it to you after the ritual is complete.
This is recommended if you want your statue to be more than an object — a presence you can practice with.
