Images of the Seven Gods symbolize hope for fortune in the coming year, and the set may have been made for the New Year of 1780. Here, Onoe Matsusuke I poses beneath curtains at the entrance to a place of business. They read, \u201cHouse of Ebisu.\u201d Ebisu is the god of fishermen, which may account for the wave imagery on the actor\u2019s inner robe.",
