'The God of Good Luck', Fukurukuju, with his extremely elongated head, riding in a boat which is (over-)loaded with huge amounts of little bags filled with money and precious gemstones. The boat is rowed by a young boy who, apparently, is having difficulties rowing the heavy load. Stylistically the print could be the work of a pupil of Katsushika Hokusai.
