Ebisu,
one of the Shichifukujin (Seven Gods of Good Luck) is the Japanese god of fishermen
and workingmen. His image is frequently seen in shops and places of commerce and
he is known to care for the health of small children. This delightful small Japanese
ivory okimono is playfully rendered. There is particular detail in his bemused
face that displays contagious mirth and spontaneous good cheer. His earlobes are
elongated depicting his status as a god and his lips are poised on a reed flute.
This ivory communicates an easy sense of harmony in the simple joys of life.
