yebisu

Yebisu (恵比須, 恵比寿, 夷, 戎, 蛭子) is also called Ebisu, Hiruko (蛭子), and Kotoshiro-nushi-no-kami (事代主神). He is the Japanese god of fishermen and good fortune. He is also the god of the morning sun, and the health of children. Yebisu was originally named Hiruko. He was born without any bones, and was thus cast out into the ocean by his parents. He survived and was cared for by one Ebisu Saburo. After overcoming many hardships, he became the god Yebisu. Ebisu and Daikokuten, another of the seven gods of good fortune, are often paired and on display as twin patrons of small shopkeepers. Yebisu is associated with fish, especially jellyfish.
