Daikokuten is widely loved for his kind smile and well-built figure. As one of the Seven Lucky Gods, Daikokuten is the object of prayers for food and wealth. He was originally Mahakala, an incarnation of the Hindu god Shiva, and had a wrathful face, a god completely different in appearance from the Daikokuten of today.
He was adopted as Daikokuten in Esoteric Buddhism, and when he was first introduced to Japan he was worshipped as the Buddha in charge of war and wealth. However, gradually the wealth aspect came to be emphasized, and he was further syncretized with Okuninushi, the Shinto deity known as the "White Rabbit of Inaba," to take on his current form as a symbol of abundant harvests and prosperous business.
He is also sometimes considered to be the same as Ebisu, another of the Seven Lucky Gods. For this reason, Daikokuten is worshipped in many temples and shrines in Japan, and is widely revered among the general public. One theory is that statues of Daikokuten are modeled after male genitalia due to the belief in fertility and child-making, with the main body of Daikokuten representing the penis and the rice sack below representing the scrotum. This makes sense when you look at a Daikokuten statue from behind.
This Daikokuten statue is made from high-quality natural boxwood from Hubei Province, China, and is a masterpiece lovingly finished by a skilled craftsman. Boxwood, with its fine grain and beautiful pale yellow color, has been considered a high-quality product ideal for crafts since ancient times. It is 21 cm tall and can be placed in a variety of places, such as a desk, a reception room, or an entrance hall. The base is designed like a piggy bank with a lid. There is a coin slot on the back of the base.
It will be delivered in a special presentation box.
