About the piece

Attributed to the celebrated artist Kanō Hōgai, this nineteenth-century work depicts Jurōjin, one of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods. Executed with the sophisticated ink-wash techniques of the Kanō school, the composition features the deity alongside his traditional symbolic companions—the crane and the pine tree—both icons of longevity. The painting balances bold, calligraphic brushstrokes with delicate detail, offering a serene yet powerful presence.
