It was originally introduced from India as a guardian deity of Buddhism, but later it was associated with Okuninushi no Mikoto in Japanese mythology and was worshiped as a god of good fortune. He is holding a gavel and a large bag, and is riding on a rice bag. The Seven Lucky Gods are surprisingly little known, but they are made up of the gods and Buddhas of India, China, and Japan. It is said that the belief in the Seven Lucky Gods began at the end of the Muromachi period and became widely established among the common people from the middle of the Edo period. After that, customs such as the Shichifukujin pilgrimage and the treasure ship were born, and today it is popular as a charming deity and Buddhist deity that brings good luck.
