"Ebisu, Dieu Du Bonheur Personnifie Par Une Courtisane Du Shimabara," a 1952 woodblock print by Paul Jacoulet, depicts a geisha from the Shimabara district of Kyoto, Japan, personifying the Japanese god of prosperity, Ebisu. The geisha is seated on a large fish, a symbol of abundance and good fortune, with a yellow background adorned with symbolic patterns and figures. Jacoulet, a French artist fascinated by Japanese art, used his skill and knowledge to create a compelling piece that beautifully blends Western and Eastern artistic traditions, highlighting the cultural significance of the Shimabara district.
