An amusing ivory Group of Jofuku, early 20th century, the stocky magician riding a donkey and holding his huge black woven straw hat, his left hand with a pearl and wearing textured green trousers, oval base, engraved Hidenao , 15cm Jofuku, originally Chinese (Su She) went in search of the Fortunate Islands of the Eastern Seas, whose spring waters conferred immortality (hence the pearl) although he failed to find them. It may be that wrapped up in the legend are the attempts by the Chinese to colonise the Islands of Japan.
