Daikoku, the Japanese god of wealth...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 28 February 2008 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

"Daikoku, the god of wealth, wears a hood and holds a big bag filled with treasures...generally on his left shoulder....and a lucky mallet in his right hand. Representations may differ." Thank you, Gabriela for helping me identify these family treasures.
