●Seven Lucky Gods...The Seven Lucky Gods are a collective term for the seven gods: Daikokuten, Bishamonten, Ebisu (the only Japanese god), Jurojin, Fukurokuju, Benzaiten, and Hotei.
Based on the theory that "seven disasters are immediately eliminated and seven blessings are immediately born," it is said that by worshiping the Seven Lucky Gods, seven misfortunes will be removed and seven blessings will be granted.
