Description: | The Shichifukujin are the seven Japanese gods of good fortune. This stained ivory okimono has been carved with the figures of all seven, each deity holding his appropriate attribute. The deity most clearly seen in the photograph is Daikokuten, the god of prosperity. He is standing on a bale of rice and in his right hand holds a stick with which he is able to grant wishes.
