God of fishing, commerce, and good fortune; one of the Seven Gods of Fortune (Shichifukujin)
À propos
Ebisu is one of the Seven Gods of Fortune (Shichifukujin) and the only one of purely Japanese Shinto origin. He is depicted as a cheerful, bearded fisherman holding a large sea bream and a fishing rod. His identity is complex: he is often equated with Hiruko (the 'leech child' born imperfect to Izanagi and Izanami) or with Kotoshironushi, son of Okuninushi.
Ebisu is the patron deity of fishermen, merchants, and laborers. The Tōka Ebisu festival on the 10th day of January draws millions to Imamiya Ebisu Shrine in Osaka and Nishinomiya Shrine in Hyogo. He is associated with the sound of the waves and the bounty of the sea, symbolizing hard work rewarded with abundance.
