Subject: Fukusuke doll (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukusuke):
Fukusuke (福助) are traditional dolls associated with good luck in Japan. A Fukusuke doll is the depiction of a man kneeling seiza style, with a large head and a topknot.
It was originally a doll enshrined in tea houses or brothels in the Edo period to bring good luck. In those days, it was considered that Fukusuke would bring "perennial youth, wealth and honor".
The doll usually wears a kataginu (かたぎぬ), a kind of vest with exaggerated shoulders. While this kind of garment was worn by samurai or court officials, some say that Fukusuke was based on a daimyō of Kyoto.[1] The origin of the Fukusuke doll is not clear, others say that its origin is found in the kami of luck or fuku no kami (福の神) called Kanō Fukusuke (叶福助) in the Edo period.
Fukusuke is often seen in business establishments, and is today is treated as a common good luck icon. Many are made of Chinese porcelain and others handcraft.
