日本艺术拍卖（神道与佛教）

这是一个精心制作的日本铜香炉（香炉），以大黑天（Daikokuten）之姿呈现，他是日本七福神之一。

该件附原装木盒（tomobako）。盒上的铭文为：
「唐铜製」

This is a finely crafted Japanese bronze incense burner (kōro) in the form of Daikokuten (大黒天), one of the revered Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) of Japan.

The piece comes with its original wooden storage box (tomobako). The inscriptions on the box read:

「唐銅製」"Made of Bronze"
「大黒香炉」"Daikokuten Incense Burner"
「白龍堂」"Hakuryūdō"

A matching Hakuryū (White Dragon) mark is also impressed on the reverse side of the sculpture.

Daikokuten is traditionally worshipped as the deity of wealth, prosperity, abundant harvests, and commercial success. As one of the Seven Lucky Gods, he has been cherished in Japanese homes and businesses for centuries as a bringer of good fortune and material abundance.

The figure is portrayed standing atop rice bales, a traditional symbol of agricultural prosperity and stored wealth. He carries his magical mallet (uchide no kozuchi), believed to grant wishes and produce treasure, while his smiling expression embodies happiness, generosity, and good fortune.

Originally derived from the Buddhist deity Mahākāla and later blended with native Japanese beliefs, Daikokuten evolved into one of Japan's most beloved auspicious deities. He is especially associated with prosperity, successful business ventures, household happiness, and financial well-being.

This example is particularly attractive due to its substantial weight, rich dark patina, and carefully executed details. The folds of the robe, cheerful facial features, rice-bale base, and symbolic attributes are all rendered with considerable skill, giving the figure a warm and dignified presence.

As both a functional incense burner and an auspicious decorative object, this piece reflects the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese metalwork and religious art.

The Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin 七福神) consist of:

Ebisu (恵比寿)
Daikokuten (大黒天)
Bishamonten (毘沙門天)
Benzaiten (弁財天)
Hotei (布袋)
Fukurokuju (福禄寿)
Jurojin (寿老人)

Together they symbolize prosperity, happiness, longevity, success, and good fortune.

Well-preserved bronze Daikokuten incense burners bearing workshop marks and accompanied by their original tomobako are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining auspicious symbolism, traditional craftsmanship, and excellent decorative appeal, this charming example would make a fine addition to any collection of Japanese metalwork, Buddhist art, or Seven Lucky Gods memorabilia.

Whether appreciated as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune or displayed simply as an elegant work of Japanese bronze craftsmanship, this delightful Daikokuten possesses the warmth, character, and timeless appeal that have made the Seven Lucky Gods beloved throughout Japan for generations.
