This Japanese cast-iron statue depicts Ebisu, the god of luck, fishermen, and prosperity. Ebisu is the only one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) with purely Japanese origins and is known as the protector of fishermen, merchants, and artisans.
The statue stands 32 cm tall, 22 cm wide, and 16 cm deep.
with a radiant smile, Ebisu carries a red sea bream (tai) on his back, secured with a rope. The tai, a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, is often associated with celebrations and milestones. The fish is beautifully detailed with fine scales and a deep red color, while the base is designed as a stylized wave.
This statue exudes optimism and gratitude, with the sea bream representing abundance and the Japanese word ‘medetai,’ which signifies joy and prosperity.
A unique piece of Japanese folk art, perfect as a stylish interior accent or a valuable addition to a collection of antique Japanese art.
