Originally introduced from India as a god of protection of Buddhism, it was later associated with Okuninushi no Mikoto in Japanese mythology and was worshiped as a god of good fortune.
It is a figure riding a rice bag with a gavel and a big bag inside.
The Seven Lucky Gods are not surprisingly known, but they are composed of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese gods and Buddha.
It is said that the belief of 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.
Daikokuten is said to have the benefits of good harvest, good fortune, prosperous business, and prosperity of descendants.
It is recommended that those who are in business should be placed in a store.
It is a size that you can enjoy in your daily life as a talisman for Buddhist altars and a talisman to prevent evil, and as a quaint interior.
An eye opening stamp will be stamped on the underside of the Buddha statue as a proof of eye opening when the eyes are opened.
