Superb Japanese Antique (early 20thc) Bronze Sculpture, Hotei
£225 $301 €263
Imposing Japanese antique (early 20thC) bronze patinated sculpture of Hotei pointing at the moon during the Tsukimi Festival (‘moon viewing’). Artist’s seal on rear. Ca. 38cm high, x 27cm wide x 15cm deep, weight 6.3kg.
Excellent condition.
One of the Seven Lucky Gods, Hotei is the God of contentment and happiness, guardian of children, and patron of bartenders. He’s distinguished by his large belly and his equally enormous alms bag, which he carried everywhere. His very name is a pun: Hotei literally means ‘cloth sack’ and by extension, ‘glutton’. Hotei was a favourite subject for Zen monk-painters in China and Japan as early as the 13th century.
