A vintage shikishi print features a beautifully composed a white rabbit beneath pine trees, accompanied by the bold calligraphy of the auspicious phrase 福壽 (Fukuju) meaning “Fortune and Longevity.” The rabbit is gracefully rendered in soft sumi ink, with delicate brushwork capturing the gentle yet alert posture of the animal.
In Japanese culture, rabbits are symbols of peace, cleverness, and good luck, while pine trees (matsu) are often associated with endurance, resilience, and long life. The pairing of these elements with the characters 福壽 enhances the message of enduring happiness and prosperity.
This is a vintage print on a traditional gold-bordered shikishi board, making it suitable for seasonal decoration, Zodiac year display (especially Year of the Rabbit), or as a refined gift symbolizing well-wishes.
