About the piece
Attributed to the celebrated Rinpa school master Ogata Kōrin, this ink painting captures Fukurokuju, one of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods. Characterized by his tall forehead and flowing beard, the figure is rendered with the artist's signature bold yet economical brushwork, utilizing negative space to create a sense of meditative stillness typical of early 18th-century Edo period art.
