We are sorry for not having written in our blog for a long time.
Today I am going to write about auspicious pictures.
This Ukiyo-e was depicted about ｔhe seven Gods of good fortune by Ochiai Yoshiiku.
They are believed to arrive on a ship full of treasures and bring people forturn.
In the picture some of Gods is bringing money boxes and a red sea beam.
The red sea beam has long been regarded as an auspicious fish because of its color
In Japan red is a lucky color.
And also children enjoying kiting is depicted.
Kite flying is traditionally done during the New Year season to wish children’s good
health and happiness. This was a typical New Year’s scene in Japan.
