Beautiful Japanese print
Fukusuke and his two courtesans circa 1795.
FUKUSUKE < L> is a representation of a chubby man with a disproportionately large head.
It's a doll that was often present in teahouses and brothels because it brought perennial youth, wealth and also honor.
This character is reputed to have really existed.
He embodied the features of a wealthy Kyoto merchant who lived at the end of the 18th century and was known as Daimonjiya.
This distinctive-looking merchant was known for being happy in business and particularly generous towards the poor.
