Who is Ebisu?
Ebisu is a Japanese deity and one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin). He is traditionally depicted wearing court robes (kariginu), holding a fishing rod in his right hand and a sea bream (tai) under his left arm.
In Japan, Ebisu is closely associated with practical blessings in everyday life, especially commercial prosperity, good fortune, and abundance. His cheerful and familiar appearance has made him one of the most beloved deities in Japanese folk belief.
The name “Ebisu” also appears in traditional New Year folk entertainment. In some regions, performers used Ebisu dolls in celebratory street performances known as Ebisu Mawashi, reflecting the deity’s deep presence in Japanese popular culture as well as religion.
About the Stone
Natsuyama Stone is a granite quarried in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is generally understood to be a Cretaceous granite formed roughly 85 to 100 million years ago. This particular piece uses a rust-toned variety characterized by its soft light brown color.
The natural warmth of this stone works especially well with the friendly and auspicious image of Ebisu, giving the statue a grounded presence and distinctly Japanese material character.
About the Maker
Stone Carving Works Tomatsu is a stone workshop founded in 1902. The fourth-generation master, a graduate of an art university, specializes in Buddhist statues, komainu, busts, and dragon sculptures. The workshop is known for producing high-level stone carvings on request for other Japanese stonemasons as well.
Why this piece stands out
This is not a mass-produced decorative item. It is a genuine Japanese stone carving made by a long-established workshop, using a recognized stone from one of Japan’s best-known stoneworking regions. Its size makes it suitable for display indoors, while its subject gives it a warm and meaningful presence.
Notes
Please review the photos carefully for texture, color, and hand-carved details. Natural stone may show slight variations in tone, grain, and surface character. These are part of the material itself and not defects.
