Ebisu and Daikokuten — Dancing Pair is a compact Keyaki (Zelkova) wood statue that captures the two figures in a lively, celebratory stance.
Chosen by many for the feeling of “room to breathe” after effort, this dancing form emphasizes ease and shared enjoyment—an expression of prosperity that has settled into everyday life rather than staying tense or urgent.
About this piece
Carved from Keyaki (Zelkova), this piece is made as a paired figure with coordinated movement and balance, designed to read as a single composition from the front. The “dancing pair” format follows a long-standing tradition of depicting Ebisu and Daikokuten together in folk-inspired sculpture and decorative devotional art, where the emphasis is placed on warmth, approachability, and a sense of conviviality. This specific form exists as a variation selected for settings that prefer a lighter, more expressive posture over more formal or static representations.
Cultural note
In Japan, Ebisu and Daikokuten are widely known as part of the Shichifukujin (Seven Lucky Gods) and are often welcomed as auspicious figures connected with everyday well-being. Ebisu is commonly associated with good fortune in work and commerce, while Daikokuten is associated with abundance and household prosperity. Images like this are typically approached with a simple, sincere attitude—kept in a clean, settled place, acknowledged with gratitude, and handled carefully (ideally with clean hands) as one would treat a valued religious or cultural object, even when displayed in a home or workplace.
