Comments - Wonderful pillar print of the Seven Lucky Gods riding in their treasure boat, which features a fantastic prow in the form of a dragon. At top, Bishamonten grips a pole arm and holds a model of a stupa (a Buddhist memorial tower). Below him, the only female member of the group, Benzaiten, plays a biwa or Japanese lute. A crane flies overhead with a view of Mt. Fuji in the distance, and a turtle surfaces above the undulating waves below. A charming image of these famous deities, also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
