Figures are grouped rather than spaced across the sheet, so the eye moves from one deity to the next. A bearded old man with a staff stands among them, a man holds a mallet, and a woman wears an elaborate headdress. A figure sits beside a lantern-like box, which anchors the lower part of the scene and gives the grouping its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven deities of Japanese mythology each carry a distinct promise of luck, prosperity and well-being, and the print presents them together as a single blessing. The mallet points to wealth and abundance, the staff to longevity, and the lantern-like box to the treasures and good fortune the group brings. Hokusai made the work between 1808 and 1827, in the early nineteenth century, when the woodblock tradition was at its height in Edo. It stands as a record of traditional iconography, with each figure's attributes set out for the viewer to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Works on a Sticker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the grouped figures can be followed edge to edge rather than framed inside a rectangle. The design reads as a small, self-contained emblem, the kind a collector places on a notebook, laptop or journal where it can be seen up close. Each deity stays legible at that scale, and the cream ground lets the composition sit cleanly on whatever surface it joins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291194699994,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-2X2-365","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48291194732762,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-2X2-366","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291194765530,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-3X3-365","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48291194798298,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-3X3-366","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291194831066,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-4X4-365","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48291194863834,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-4X4-366","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48291194896602,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-6X6-365","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48291194929370,"sku":"TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-6X6-366","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/katsushika-hokusai-seven-gods-of-good-fortune-180827-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-KTSHKS-2X2-366-alt-3.webp?v=1785695386","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/katsushika-hokusai-seven-gods-of-good-fortune-180827-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
