EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Kitao, Shigemasa, a renowned Japanese artist from the Edo period. Titled "Seven Lucky Gods" this piece is a testament to Shigemasa's mastery in graphic arts and his deep understanding of Japanese mythology. The image depicts the Seven Lucky Gods, also known as Shichi Fukujin, who are revered figures in Japanese folklore. Each god represents different aspects of luck and prosperity. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these mythical beings to life on the woodcut canvas. Amongst them stands Daikoku, symbolizing wealth and good fortune with his iconic hammer and sack overflowing with treasures. Ebisu, associated with bountiful fishing and commerce, holds a fishing rod while standing atop a sea dragon representing his dominion over water. Benten radiates beauty as she plays her biwa (a traditional stringed instrument), embodying artistry and love. Bishamon guards against evil forces with his fierce armor and spear. Fukurokuju embodies wisdom and longevity while Jurojin carries scrolls that hold knowledge beyond measure. This fine art print captures not only the skillful craftsmanship but also serves as an allegory for abundance in all areas of life. It offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage through its symbolism steeped in tradition. Currently held within a private collection, this rare gem allows us to appreciate the beauty of Asian artistry while immersing ourselves in the enchanting world of Japanese
