About the Item

A finely embroidered Japanese silk Fukusa panel presented in a beautiful silk-lined giltwood frame (newly framed and glazed), circa late 19th century of Meiji Period. Fukusa is a traditional Japanese textile art used to wrap and present gifts at important occasions. Depending on the occasion, the panel itself can be a very fine textile art on its own. On the deep blue background, this elaborate textile art depicts an old man with long eyebrows and beards, donning a flowing robe and a Confucius-style hat. He represents Fukurokuju, the deity of longevity and wisdom in Japanese folklore, derived from "The Old Man of the South Pole" in Chinese mythology. He is seen holding a fan with a white deer with antlers by his side. A young boy, his attendant, stands steps away, holding his staff. The figures form a nice central group, surrounded by the "Three friends of Winter": pines, flowering plum trees and bamboo. The evergreen trio is also symbols of longevity. The embroidery work on this large Fukusa is impressive in its intricate details. To create this piece, a wide range of techniques were used masterfully when viewed in detail. A fine piece of auspicious symbolism and superb workmanship. The panel itself is 25.25" W x 31.25" H.

Framed Antique Japanese Embroidery Fukusa Panel Takasago Legend

Located in Atlanta, GA

A finely embroidered Japanese silk Fukusa panel presented in a beautiful silk-lined giltwood frame (newly framed and glazed), circa late 19th century of Meiji Period.

On the deep blue background, this elaborate textile art depicts an old couple standing on a bridge with three bystanders, flanked by pine trees with hills afar. The couple is Jotomba (Joo and Uba are their respective names), characters in the Legend of Takasago, one of the oldest Japanese mythologies, who are associated with old pines. The legend goes as: "At Takasago Shrine there is a very old pine tree, the trunk of which is bifurcated; in it dwells the spirit of the Maiden of Takasago who was seen once by the son of Izanagi who fell in love and wedded her. Both lived to a very great age, dying at the same hour on the same day, and since then their spirits abide in the tree, but on moonlight nights they return to human shape to revisit the scene of their earthly felicity and pursue their work of gathering pine needles. His pine tree is called “The Pine of Suminoe” while hers is "Takasago pine". In Japan, Takasago couple...
