- Format:
A print from the "Children's Handbook of String Pictures" series depicting the god Daikoku — one of the Seven Lucky Gods, patron of farmers and keeper of treasure — alongside other subjects designed for children learning string-figure games. Daikoku typically appears with his mallet, sack of riches, and standing on bales of rice, and Kyosai would have rendered him with the affectionate warmth he reserved for benevolent deities. The series fuses popular religious imagery with childhood play in a characteristically inventive way.
