Taut and beautifully curved lines bring Hotei, the pot-bellied God of Contentment, to life. Here, he is shown lowering a large sack, revealing a somewhat melancholic expression with almond-like eyes, lowered eyebrows, and wrinkles between the brows. The illustration also features a poem composed by the Kyoto poet Kagawa Kochu (1745-1821).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u3010A designated cultural property of Sakata City\u3011 Mid-Edo Era (18C) Although many of the illustrations created b&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=126"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions\/153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
