Description

Hand-painted on silk, this hanging scroll depicts the Seven Lucky Gods gathered together against a warm cream background. Fine lines define their expressive faces and the folds of their robes, while soft shades of coral, rose, green, and gold keep the lively scene light. 

Each deity is depicted with their familiar attribute. Ebisu, for example, holds a plump sea bream, a symbol of abundance, while the round-bellied Hotei rests against his cloth sack, said to contain endless good fortune.

Known as Shichifukujin in Japanese, these deities are one of the most celebrated subjects in Japanese auspicious painting. The group combines gods with roots in India, China, and Japan, and it became widely familiar through paintings and other works during the Edo period (1603–1868 CE).

Images of the seven gods were believed to bring blessings of all kinds, from good health and safety to success at work, love, and prosperity. Together, they express the wish for a home filled with happiness, shared with the people one holds dear.

The artist, Shibuya Chikugen, is a Gifu-based painter who specializes in nihonga, or traditional Japanese-style painting, and creates works for hanging scrolls. He is particularly known for his figure paintings and his depictions of flowers and birds.

Rouleaux suspendus Kakejiku

Les rouleaux suspendus japonais, connus sous le nom de kakejiku ou kakémonoLes rouleaux de papier (ou kakis) sont une forme traditionnelle d'art mural japonais, appréciée depuis plus de mille ans. Ornés de calligraphie japonaise, de motifs saisonniers ou de peintures, chaque rouleau est réalisé selon des techniques raffinées qui reflètent la beauté de la nature et de la culture.

Polyvalents et intemporels, les kakemonos s'intègrent aussi bien dans les maisons, les salons de thé que dans les intérieurs modernes. Leur légèreté permet de les enrouler, de les ranger et de les changer au gré des saisons et des occasions. Expression intemporelle de l'art mural japonais, les kakemonos apportent une touche d'harmonie à tout espace.
