Description When I asked my grandmother about it she couldn't remember where she got it, but she thinks she bought it in the 40s or 50s maybe around San Francisco but not sure. My Gandparents did alot of traveling so its hard to say where they got it for certain. I do know that its Fukurokuju the god of wisdom and longevity one of Japan's seven lucky gods. It looks to have been hand painted and has what looks to be liquid gold on the sleeve of his robe and on his collar.
