or The Seven Lucky Gods. The Seven Lucky Gods of Japan are group of popular deities whose origins stem from Indian, Chinese and Japanese gods of fortune. Shichi means seven, fuku means luck, and jin means god. Except one, all of the seven lucky Gods of Japan do not originate from Japan (Ebisu), three are from India (Daikokuten, Bishamonten, and Benzaiten) and three from China (Hotei, Jurojin, and Fukurokuju). Each of these seven has been acknowledged as a deity for more than a thousand years and each has its own believers, primarily hailing from the respective professions they belong to. Each of the seven Gods has specific characteristics in appearance, clothes and props that he or she carries or is seen with. These physical characteristics of each of the seven lucky Gods are distinct in that they are specifically related to the respective professions they patronize. The seven lucky gods look after the physical and commercial well-being of people and have come to be honored throughout the country.
