Notes |
Clark 1992 Hotei, numbered as one of the Seven Gods of Good Luck ('shichifukujin') in the Edo period, is generally portrayed as a laughing, pot-bellied Chinese monk, carrying a staff, Chinese fan and linen bag (from which he derives his name), in which he stows lucky treasures. Paintings of the Gods of Good Luck were always hung at the New Year holiday, and prints of them arriving in a lucky treasure ship were placed under the pillow at night to ensure good fortune during the coming year. Hotei was a common subject for Zen ink painters during the Muromachi period and he is variously shown in carefree attitudes riding an ox, gazing at the moon, fording a river, and so on, but this composition of him gazing at his reflection in a stream seems to be unusual. Perhaps the idea was simply to poke fun at how difficult it must have been to see his reflection over such an enormous belly. The technique is a loose version of the Kano ink style (ultimately derived from Zen monk painters) habitually adopted by artists of all schools for paintings of the Lucky Gods.

editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
