Specialist note

From the late 17th to early 18th century, many Imari and Kakiemon figures were shipped to Europe, ordered by the Dutch East India Company. They included the models of human figures, animals, mythical creatures and gods. Hotei, the god of good fortune and happiness, is one of such figures.
