Some background on the seven Japanese Gods of good luck was included in my review of Fukurokuju.  Also included in that review was some information on packaging and price. The 100th anniversary inks are  becoming hard to find even online.  A lot of retailers still have the 15ml sample packs left and occasionally you find the inks in the strangest of places.  I bought this one in May in Melbourne, Australia and just recently in December I managed to find the inks still on sale at Dymocks in Sydney.

Shichi Fukujin are the Seven Japanese Gods of luck and good fortune. They symbolise the following virtues: Honesty, Fortune, Dignity. Amiability, Longevity, Happiness and Wisdom. They were chosen from Hinduist, Buddhist, Taoist and Shintoist gods or saints, and settled into Japanese Folklore Gods, believed to have been grouped together around 17th century.  According to  Japanese legend, they travel in a ship called Takarabune which  is filled with treasures and comes from sea to bring fortune and prosperity to everyone. It is said that if you leave a picture of the Shichi Fukujin below your pillow on New Years eve you will be lucky and have good fortune for the following year.
