Celebrate the spirit of the dragon with this exquisite Shofuku Eto (招福干支) zodiac figurine, crafted by the esteemed Yakushigama (薬師窯) kiln. Known for over a millennium of ceramic artistry in Japan, Yakushigama is revered for its beautifully detailed zodiac and good-luck figurines, each embodying tradition, craftsmanship, and cultural significance.
This vibrant ceramic set features a friendly green dragon, symbolizing rising fortune, protection, and vitality. The dragon pulls a miniature treasure cart (宝車), brimming with gold-toned orbs of luck and prosperity — a nod to the mythical creature's association with rain, abundance, and celestial power.
Behind the scene, a gold folding screen (byōbu) enhances the celebratory atmosphere, and a wooden plaque marks it as part of the "招福干支" (Shofuku Eto) series — inviting happiness and good fortune in the year of the dragon.
Accompanied by an instruction sheet and housed in a charming presentation box, this piece makes a delightful New Year's display, seasonal gift, or cherished collectible that brings luck, beauty, and cultural meaning to any home.
