EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Shunsen (Shunko II), a renowned artist from the Edo period in Japan. Titled "Seven Lucky Gods" this piece is a vibrant representation of Asian mythology and Japanese art. The woodcut print features the Seven Lucky Gods, also known as Shichi Fukujin, who are revered in Japanese folklore for their blessings and good fortune. Each god is depicted with intricate details and rich colors, bringing them to life on paper. Among these deities are Daikoku, Ebisu, Benten, Bishamon, Fukurokuju, Hotei, and Jurojin. Daikoku symbolizes wealth and prosperity while Ebisu represents fishermen's luck. Benten embodies feminine beauty and love while Bishamon protects against evil spirits. Fukurokuju signifies wisdom and longevity while Hotei brings happiness and contentment. Lastly, Jurojin personifies longevity through his wise appearance. This fine art image not only showcases the talent of Shunsen but also highlights the allegory present in Japanese culture through its depiction of these gods. The use of color woodcut technique adds depth to each character's personality. Currently held in a private collection, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the enchanting world of Japanese mythology and appreciate the mastery behind ukiyo-e prints like never before.
