Description
A Japanese Fukusa Panel with tassels displayed in a gilt frame circa Meiji Period. Fukusa is a traditional Japanese textile art used as a wrap for presenting gifts at important occasions. On the deep blue background, the elaborate embroidery work depicts Shichifukujin (Seven Gods of Fortune in Japanese mythology) under a pine tree. First mentioned as a collective in the year 1420, the origin of Shichifukujin is rooted as ancient gods of fortune from various religions Japan. From Mahayana Buddhism came Benzaiten, Bishamonten and Daikokuten; From Chinese Taoism came Fukurokuju, Hotei and Jurojin; The only one who has a native Japanese ancestry is Ebisu. With time, they all developed into the patron gods of various professions and trades in Japanese society.
