    Description

    VINTAGE Hand Signed, Hand Carved Japanese Immortal Netsuke of Daikokuten, in Hardwood. It is beautifully detailed. Daikokuten is one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japan.
    Daikokuten evolved from the Buddhist form of the Indian deity Shiva intertwined with the Shinto god Ōkuninushi. The name is the Japanese equivalent of Mahākāla, the Hindu name for Shiva. The god enjoys an exalted position as a household deity in Japan. Daikokuten's association with wealth and prosperity precipitated a custom known as fukunusubi, or "theft of fortune". This custom started with the belief that whoever stole divine figures was assured of good fortune if not caught in the act.
    He is portrayed here with his Golden Mallet or Mallet of Fortune. Figure is in Very Good to Excellent condition as we believe they were produced in the Mid 20th C. It has two holes in the back, so you can run a string/chain through it and use it as a pendant!  It comes from a collection from a retired USAF Colonel (Surgeon). Great addition to your set of netsukes!
    Figure measures 2" Tall X 1 3/8" Wide X 1 1/4" Deep.
    Please carefully examine all images for condition.
    Note: Last image was taken with different lighting, to hopefully give you a better view.
