He was a Zen monk from the late Tang Dynasty in China and is considered to be the incarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva. He was said to be innocent and popular with the children. He carries a large bag for giving alms and a fan to bring good luck. The Seven Lucky Gods are healing, cute, and blessed.The Seven Lucky Gods, lucky charms that are loved by everyone regardless of the era, are cast from the original model created by sculptor Sotaro Saegusa. The back is large enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, resembling a baseball. The surface has been intentionally left with granular irregularities, giving it a slightly rough texture that is very comfortable to the touch, and has a rustic texture with less luster. It has a unique, hemispherical design with eye-catching bright yellow-green and gold hues reminiscent of the color of willow leaves in early summer. All of them look up and smile, making them adorable and likeable, like children. In particular, the protruding chin is a common charm point of the Saegusa design.
