Original Description
"God of Fortune" by Totoya Hokkei bursts with playful energy, capturing Ebisu - one of Japan’s Seven Lucky Gods - in the artist’s signature mitate-e (parody) style. Rendered during the Edo period’s early 19th century, the woodblock print showcases Hokkei’s mastery of ukiyo-e while subverting conventions: Ebisu’s traditional fishing rod absurdly hooks a giant octopus, his exaggerated grin radiating mischievous charm. As a pupil of Hokusai, Hokkei bridged classical ukiyo-e and the emerging surimono (privately commissioned prints), making this work historically significant for its blend of commercial appeal and sophisticated wit. The dynamic composition, with its fluid lines and intentional asymmetry, exemplifies Edo-period humor while reflecting Japan’s growing middle-class appetite for irreverent takes on sacred iconography.
For contemporary spaces, this print’s warm indigos and burnt oranges would enliven minimalist interiors or eclectic studies. Frame it in a slender black lacquer border to honor its Edo roots, positioning it as a focal point above a mid-century console or beside Bauhaus furniture for cross-cultural dialogue. Choose a modest size (approx. 20x30cm) to preserve its surimono intimacy - perfect for desk-side contemplation in home offices or as a whimsical counterpoint to serious boardroom décor. Pair with terracotta planters or a single persimmon-hued ceramic to echo its earth tones, avoiding competing patterns. In traditional tatami rooms, display it alongside a kintsugi repair to celebrate wabi-sabi imperfection, aligning with Ebisu’s joyful transgression.
