Fukurokuju, c. 1700, Ogata Kōrin, Japanese, 1658 - 1716, 8 3/8 x 10 1/8 in. (21.27 x 25.72 cm), Ink on paper, Japan, 17th-18th century, Fukurokuju is one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune (Shichi fukujin), a group of deities adopted into Japanese mythology from China as early as the 15th century. Fukurokuju's distinguishing feature is an elongated cranium, probably suggesting the vast wisdom he accumulated over his long life. Because Fukurokuju was emblematic of longevity, this charming painting of him would have been appropriate to display at tea gatherings
