Originating from the revered 20th century, this charming statue showcases the rich, earthy tones characteristic of Bizen pottery, renowned for its durability and natural glaze that emerges from the kiln's unique firing process. As Daikokuten, the deity of wealth and prosperity, raises his fan high, this piece symbolizes abundance and good fortune, making it a highly coveted amulet for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese culture. Although the passage of time has bestowed a graceful patina of wear, it stands in relatively excellent condition for its age. For a detailed view of its present state, please refer to the accompanying photographs which serve as a testament to its enduring allure. This Bizen ware Daikokuten is more than a mere decorative item; it is a tangible connection to the artistic traditions and a wonderful embodiment of the Japanese belief in the interplay of beauty, nature, and good fortune. Please note that slight surface wear is evident, commensurate with its antique status, which is detailed in the photographs. There are three repairs (areas turn white under black light), and these have also been captured in the photos with black light. Add this symbol of joy and prosperity to your collection and invite the spirit of craftsmanship into your home. Dimension: approx.
