"Seven Women Tossing Daikoku in the Air at New Year" is a woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a celebrated artist of the *ukiyo-e* movement in 18th-century Japan. The print depicts seven women playfully tossing Daikoku, the god of wealth, in the air, a lighthearted and festive scene that celebrates the New Year. Harunobu's signature *chūban* format, characterized by its vertical and slightly smaller size, allows for a focus on the intimate portrayal of these women's joy and merriment. The intricate details in the clothing and the dynamic composition further enhance the vibrant and playful nature of this artwork.
