EDITORS COMMENTS
This uki-e (woodblock print) dates back to the 1740s and showcases the Original Perspective Picture of the Fashionable Seven Gods of Good Fortune, also known as Furyu Shichi Fukujin, by the renowned artist Okumura Masanobu. The print is a masterpiece of the Torii School and a prime example of the artistic brilliance of the eighteenth century in Japan. The Seven Gods of Good Fortune are auspicious deities believed to bring good luck and prosperity. Depicted here are the gods Genpachi (God of Rice), Shichifukujin (God of Seven Fortunes), Ebisu (God of Fishermen and Merchants), Daikokuten (God of Grains), Benzaiten (Goddess of Music, Dance, and Entertainment), Fukurokuju (God of Long Life and Prosperity), and Hotei (God of Contentment and Happiness). The gods are portrayed in vibrant colors and intricate detail, dressed in fashionable clothing of the time. The men wear elegant kimonos, while the women don beautiful, flowing robes adorned with intricate patterns. The gods are gathered in a room, each occupying their own space, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The interior is decorated with timber walls, a Torii gate, and various auspicious symbols, adding to the overall richness and grandeur of the scene. This hand-colored woodblock print is a testament to the artistic prowess of Okumura Masanobu and the artistic schools of Japan during the eighteenth century. It is a valuable heritage art piece that continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details, vibrant colors, and cultural significance.
