Description
This wooden carving depicts Daikoku, one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) in Japanese folklore, sitting atop a wood block. Crafted from light-finished keyaki wood (Japanese zelkova), the natural grain of the wood beautifully enhances the fine details of the carving. Daikoku is traditionally recognized as the god of wealth, prosperity, and the harvest, often depicted with a broad, joyful smile, a bag of treasures slung over his shoulder, and his iconic mallet of fortune (uchide no kozuchi) in hand.

In Japanese homes and businesses, Daikoku figures are commonly placed as talismans to invite good luck, wealth, and bountiful harvests. His cheerful and approachable demeanor has made him a beloved figure, especially among farmers and merchants. This particular carving captures Daikoku’s essence, symbolizing both material abundance and spiritual well-being.
