A wooden carving of Daikokuten, likely dating from the Meiji period or later. While in the traditional pose of carrying a bag and holding a mallet, the figure is characterized by a somewhat deformed and charming expression. The plump physique and simple carving style give it the appealing flavor of a Daikokuten statue that was beloved in folk religion. The aged wood grain is layered with a calm, antique color, and the warmth unique to handcraftsmanship exudes from it. This wooden carving is a piece that invites good fortune to the place it is displayed, while conveying a simple form of prayer. It is an antique that also allows you to enjoy the beauty of folk art. This is an old item. Please check the condition in the photos. Height: Approximately 12cm.
