Ebisu and Daikoku Woodblock Print by Yoshitoshi Mori

This item is a framed Japanese woodblock print, likely a stencil print (kappazuri or katazome), depicting the popular Japanese deities Ebisu and Daikoku. The print features a bold, graphic style with strong outlines and flat areas of color. The color palette is striking, dominated by a deep indigo blue background, black for outlines and details, white for figures' skin and clothing elements, and a golden-ochre color for Daikoku's hair/headdress and fish, suggesting prosperity. Ebisu, the god of fishermen and luck, is shown on the left, squatting and holding a fishing rod-like implement. Daikoku, the god of wealth and agriculture, is depicted on the right, recognizable by his large sack and mallet (though only a portion of the mallet is clearly visible). He is also carrying a fish, possibly a sea bream (tai), which is a symbol of good fortune. The figures exhibit a somewhat naive, almost folk-art style, characterized by a playful distortion of proportions and a strong sense of movement. There are Japanese characters visible in various locations; on the top right, '師西日' (possibly related to 'Shichifukujin' or 'Seven Lucky Gods' context), and on the left side, '大國神' (Daikoku-jin, or Daikoku god) '社' (Shrine). At the bottom center, a handwritten signature in Roman script reads 'yoshitoshi mori', accompanied by a red artist's seal (hanko), confirming the artist as Yoshitoshi Mori (1898-1992), a renowned Japanese folk art printmaker. The print appears to be in good condition with vibrant colors, suggesting it has been preserved from excessive light exposure. It is presented within a white mat and housed in a simple dark brown wooden frame, typical of contemporary framing practices, which adds to the overall presentation and protection of the artwork. The printing technique, bold design, and signature indicate an original artwork from the mid to late 20th century.
