Cultural notes
Ebisu is unique among the Seven Lucky Gods as the only one of purely Japanese origin. Often depicted holding a fishing rod and a sea bream (tai), he represents honest labor and the bounty of the sea. In coastal regions like Kochi, Ebisu worship is particularly significant due to the prefecture's strong fishing culture.
