The Billiken is a charm doll created by an American art teacher and illustrator, Florence Pretz of Kansas City, Missouri, who is said to have seen the mysterious figure in a dream. It is believed that Pretz found the name Billiken in Bliss Carman's 1896 poem "Mr. Moon: A Song Of The Little People". In 1908, she obtained a design patent on the ornamental design of the Billiken, which she sold to the Billiken Company of Chicago. The Billiken was monkey-like with pointed ears, a mischievous smile and a tuft of hair on his pointed head. His arms were short and he was generally sitting with his legs stretched out in front of him. Billiken is known as "The God of Things as They Ought to Be".

  • Das Billiken ist ein Glücksbringer in Form einer Puppe oder Statue, die zwar in den USA erfunden, aber deutliche Anklänge an ostasiatische Glücksgottheiten aufweist. Das Billiken wird normalerweise als groteske menschliche Figur dargestellt, die mit nach vorn gestreckten Füßen sitzt, ein verschmitztes Lächeln zeigt und spitz zulaufende Ohren hat. (de)
  • ビリケン(Billiken)は、尖った頭と吊り上がった目が特徴の子供の姿をしている幸運の神の像。1908年10月6日にアメリカ合衆国のフローレンス・プレッツがデザイン特許を取得した。 日本では大阪の通天閣 5階(展望台)にあるビリケン像が有名で、「ビリケンさん」の愛称で親しまれ、特に足を掻いてあげるとご利益があるとされている。 また、アラスカのエスキモーの間で彫刻品の題材として広まり、同地や極東ロシアでは時として自身の民族の伝統の神として祀られるほどの人気を得ている。 (ja)

  • Le Billiken est une statue porte-bonheur, dessinée par l'illustratrice américaine Florence Pretz en 1908. Il est présenté comme « le Dieu des choses telles qu'elles devraient être » (« The God of Things As They Ought to Be », tel qu'il peut être écrit sur son socle).

  • Billiken è un personaggio immaginario ideato dall'insegnante d'arte e illustratrice americana Florence Pretz di St. Louis, nel Missouri, che ha creato la figura misteriosa ispirandosi ad un suo sogno e nel 1908 ha brevettato la figura come un elfo con le orecchie a punta, un sorriso malizioso e un ciuffo di capelli sulla testa a punta, le braccia corte, rappresentato generalmente seduto con le gambe distese di fronte a lui. Il Billiken non deve essere confuso con altri bambolotti quali le figure che hanno debuttato sul Ladies' Home Journal nel 1909. (it)
