This 19th-century woodcut print titled "JAPAN: GOD OF HAPPINESS" showcases Hotei, the beloved deity of happiness in the Shinto religion of Japan. The artwork, originating from the Edo period and later during the Meiji era, beautifully captures Hotei's iconic characteristics. In this depiction, Hotei is portrayed as a jovial and contented figure. His round physique symbolizes abundance and good fortune while his beaming smile radiates pure joy. Seated comfortably with one hand raised in a pointing gesture, he exudes an aura of benevolence and guidance. Hotei holds immense significance in Japanese mythology as he is believed to bring luck, prosperity, and fulfillment to those who revere him. As a popular subject for artistic representation throughout history, this woodcut print exemplifies both cultural reverence for deities and artistic craftsmanship prevalent during that time. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight not only their technical skill but also their deep understanding of Japanese folklore. This print serves as a visual testament to Japan's rich spiritual heritage while also evoking feelings of warmth and delight within viewers.
