A PALACE SIZE IVORY TAKARABUNE WITH SEVEN LUCKY GOD

Item Details

Description

A PALACE SIZE IVORY TAKARABUNE WITH SEVEN LUCKY GODSMid 20th Century
This incomparable huge Takarabune (Treasure Ship) features the Seven Gods of Fortune (Shichi Fukujin), all hand carved from solid ivory. Each sail is carved from a tusk and incised with Japanese characters. The Seven Gods of Fortune, commonly referred to in English as the Seven Lucky Gods, refer to the Seven Gods of Good Fortune in Japanese mythology and folklore. The Seven Lucky Gods of Japan are a group of deities whose origins stem from Indian, Chinese, and indigenous Japanese gods of fortune. The seven gods are often depicted on their ship, the Takarabune, as shown here. The tradition holds that the seven gods will arrive in town on the New Year and distribute fantastic gifts to worthy people. It is assumed that the first earnest believers of the Seven Lucky Gods were merchants, and that the first two gods of the seven to gain immediate popularity were Daikoku and Ebisu, the gods of commerce and merchants. Japanese society began to look amongst the pantheon of Gods to find one suitable for their own endeavors. Before long, the goddess Benten became the patroness of the arts. Fukurokuju, god of happiness and Jurojin, god of longevity as well as Hotei were Chinese imports who were gods and sages. The first two, Fukurokuju and Jurojin, began to have their following amongst the intellectual classes and the latter, Hotei, began to occupy a unique position among the other gods as the happy god of abundance and good health. Bishamon, god of warriors, was looked to by travelers, doctors and missionaries. Provenance: Dr. Paul Pasha Collection, Houston, Texas. Notes: "The Seven Lucky Gods of Japan" by Reiko Chiba.
Very good condition.
