EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ebisu, from the series The Seven Gods of Good Luck in Modern Life" by Harunobu Suzuki takes us back to 18th century Japan. The image showcases Ebisu, the Japanese god of fishermen and luck, who is depicted in a serene garden setting. Standing on a platform adorned with figures and surrounded by lush landscapes, Ebisu exudes an air of tranquility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this woodblock print. From the intricate patterns on Ebisu's traditional dress to the delicate calligraphy script that accompanies him, each element adds depth and richness to the composition. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life and vibrancy to the scene, further enhancing its beauty. As one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, Ebisu holds a special place in Japanese culture. Unlike his counterparts who have Hindu or Chinese origins, he is unique as he solely originates from Japan. This makes him an important figure for those seeking good fortune and prosperity. This stunning artwork from Clarence Buckingham Collection at The Art Institute of Chicago allows us to appreciate not only the artistic style but also gain insight into traditional Japanese beliefs and customs. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these ancient gods continue to inspire awe and reverence among people around the world.
