参拝のヒント

Clap loudly when praying, as Ebisu is said to be hard of hearing and needs extra attention to hear your prayers.

文化的背景

Ebisu is depicted as a smiling fisherman holding a fishing rod and a red sea bream (tai). As one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin), Ebisu is particularly revered for bringing luck in commerce and fishing. The deity is unique among the Seven Lucky Gods as the only one of purely Japanese origin.
