2″ to 2 1/2″ each COLLECTOR'S 1960's rare vintage Mid Century “Seven Gods Of Good Fortune” Okinawa, Japan, Japanese Celluloid Figurines. Each figurine is numbered and in their hard-to-find original wooden lidded box. In Japanese mythology, the Seven Lucky Gods or Seven Gods of Fortune (七 福神, shichifukujin in Japanese) are believed to grant good luck and often have their place in netsuke engravings or other representations. Among the seven, not all the gods are mythical characters, one is a historical figure. These Gods have been recognized over a thousand years from the Hindu religion to Buddhism, Chinese Taoism, Shintoist gods or saints, and Japanese religions. They all began as remote and impersonal gods, but gradually became much closer canonical figures for certain professions and Japanese arts. During the course of its history, the mutual influence between gods has created confusion about which of them was the patron of certain professions. The worship of this group of gods is also due to the importance of the number seven in Japan, which is supposedly a bearer of good luck. The first two Gods that were worshiped by merchants were Ebisu & Daikokuten who were Gods of business and trade. The Gods were worshiped separately in ancient times and rarely happens now. They were chosen from Hinduist, Buddhist, Taoist and Shintoist gods or saints, and settled into Japanese Folklore Gods, believed to have been grouped together around 17th century. Each has a story to learn and ponder over. Netsuke depicting the Seven Gods of Fortune, is on display at the Bern Historical Museum. Each brightly colored painted figurine has a number on the bottom from No.#1 to No.#7 (not all in order in photos). The figures measure approx 2″ to 2 1/4″ in height by 1- 1 1/4″ in width. Circa 1950's to 1960's. Photos do not fully capture exact color hues; wait until you see. WOW! 1.
