Ebisu & Daikoku – Wooden Deity Statues on Base, Japan, c. 1950

Two exquisitely hand-carved wooden figures, resting atop an elegantly undulating base, depict the beloved Japanese gods of fortune, Ebisu and Daikoku.

Dimensions (including base): Height 23 cm, width 36 cm, depth 13 cm.

Ebisu: God of commerce and prosperity—holds a carp, the symbol of perseverance and good fortune.
Daikoku: God of wealth and abundance—wields his iconic lucky mallet and bale of rice, emblems of strength and plenty.

The warm-toned wood reveals a beautiful grain and soft patina, enhancing the cheerful expressions and intricate drapery folds.

Together, they form a traditional Japanese talismanic pair, infusing any space with an aura of luck, prosperity, and positive energy.
