In this karakuri tableau, mice escape from Daikoku’s large sack and run around into the box on the other side. Daikoku was originally a Buddhist protective deity, but in Japan his identity became merged with that of indigenous kami, turning him into a favorite folk god. He is one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune.
