Netsuke, 0 is held by National Museum of World Cultures Foundation, dated 0. Museum description: Netsuke carved in wood, depicting the luck god Fukurokuju, one of the Seven Popular Luck Gods, Shichifukujin, xx. Fukurokuju is primarily seen as the God of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, usually depicted as an old man with a long head and beard, short and somewhat set, often holding a staff and accompanied by a crane and long-tailed turtle, minogame, sometimes also with a peach - probably from the association with the peaches that ensure long life. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
