EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodblock print, titled "Daikoku revealing the contents of Hoteis bag, no. 2 from the series of 12 prints" captures a moment of intrigue and mystery. Created by Okumura Masanobu in the 18th century during Japan's Edo period, this artwork showcases the artist's skill in ukiyo-e printing. In this scene, we see Daikoku, a deity associated with wealth and prosperity, unveiling the contents of Hotei's bag. The small-scale composition adds to its charm as it invites viewers to lean in closer to discover what lies within. The intricate details and delicate lines highlight Masanobu's mastery of his craft. The print belongs to a series that explores various gods and mythical figures from Japanese folklore. It offers us a glimpse into religious beliefs during that time while also showcasing the artistic school prevalent in Japan during the Tokugawa period. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece is part of their Arts of Asia collection which celebrates cultural heritage through art. Its presence reminds us not only of Japan's rich artistic history but also serves as an homage to traditional printing techniques that have stood the test of time. As we admire this unusual print today, we are transported back centuries ago when people found solace and inspiration in religious iconography like Daikoku and Hotei. Through Masanobu's skilled hands, these deities come alive on paper for us to appreciate their significance even
