I'm looking for a painting, or a print, of a Billiken.  I'm not
looking for the Alaskan charms or the Batman comic stuff.  I'm looking
for something to hang on the wall.  I saw a print of a Billiken a
couple years ago.  It was a simple painting of a Billiken with
geometric patterns in the background.  It was like the one I found at
http://www.robertmehling.com/id5.html, but it wasn't like a real
bronze Billiken sitting on a table.  It was more cartoony,
2-dimensional, but was not as cartoony as the mascot of Saint Louis
University.  It actually could have been a simple painting of one of
those Alaskan charms.  I just graduated from SLU and would really like
to find that print.  I've looked all over the internet and have come
up empty-handed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I guess I'm looking for the title or artist of that print, by the way.

Yeah, it was very similar to the ones in the first link...if I could
buy prints of those, I'd call it close enough.

How about a large throw blanket instead:

If that doesn't do it, there are a lot of other Billiken items to be
had here, but oddly...no poster.


Let me know what you think.

Hello trentdogyo-ga

I contacted the owner of the page http://www4.ocn.ne.jp/~postcard/billiken.html
he says that he has those postcard for sale (which are probably too
small to hang on the wall, but he also says that he has a poster of
the Japanese film "Billiken". You can see the picture of the poster
here http://www.e-z-smith.com/Billycan/billikin-07.jpg.
Would you be interested in that ? I didn't ask the price ... but I can
ask if you are interested.

Hello again trentdogyo-ga 

the same person that has the Billiken movie poster also has paintings
of Billikens. I asked for some images of his paintings to show you,
but I would like you to let me know that you are still interested and
I am not pursuing this in vain.

Thank you
silviares
