Hand-painted calligraphy "笑門来福" (Shōmon Raifuku) on Japanese paper.
This piece depicts the Japanese proverb "笑う門には福来る" (Warau kado ni wa fuku kitaru), which translates to "Fortune comes to the gate where there is laughter."
The meaning of this proverb is that "a home always filled with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere will naturally attract good fortune."
Since "笑う" (warau - to laugh) also implies "to spend time joyfully," it is used with the nuance of "if you spend time joyfully, happiness will come," making it an auspicious phrase.
Includes an illustration of a "Lucky Cat" (福猫 - fuku neko), a characteristic of the artist's work.
