[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4341714, member: 2844"]I agree, not Kutani. I can't help with the markings, but I can tell you the figure is Jurojin, the Japanese equivalent of the Chinese Taoist Star God Shou Xing. Jurojin is one of the seven Gods of Fortune and a symbol of longevity. On the scroll attached to his staff is written the lifespan of all beings.[/QUOTE]
