About this piece
This statue is carved by hand from hinoki (Japanese cypress) and then hand-painted by Takamura Chihiro, known for work that draws on classical Japanese wood-sculpture coloring practices. Traditional paints and natural mineral pigments are applied freehand in multiple layers, creating depth and warmth while keeping the overall finish balanced. The model follows established Daikokuten iconography—smiling face, wish-fulfilling mallet, and treasure bag—forms that have been repeated in Japanese workshops for generations for household and storefront commissions, where an inviting, auspicious expression is especially valued.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Daikokuten are commonly understood through both Buddhist and folk-religious traditions, and he is widely known as one of the Seven Lucky Gods. At a high level, he is associated with well-being in the home, steady prosperity, and the everyday supports of life such as food and work. When kept in a private space, such figures are typically approached with a calm, respectful mindset—placed somewhere clean and settled, handled with clean hands, and treated as an object of reverence rather than casual décor.
