This charming late 19th century pair of tanuki is intended to appear as Ebisu and Diakoku, the ubiquitous members of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune. The one dressed as Ebisu is wearing a Japanese court cap and holding a drum, alluding to the fact that the tanuki is said to distend his stomach and use it as a drum. The one dressed as Daikoku is attired in his usual floppy cap of an imaginary Chinese merchant. Very good condition. Dimensions: 5 x 2 ½

This priest was crafted in a dry lacquer on cloth technique which dates back to the Heian period (794-1185) when many sculptures were made in this way. The use of varied tones of green indicates this to be a later piece, late 19th century. There is some loss to the top of the head and the edges of the robe. An illegible signature can be found on the base. Height: 4"
