NAME: Ebisu

DESCRIPTION
The Japanese Kami of fishermen and luck. He is one of
the Seven Kami of Luck. Weak as a child, he overcame
many hardships, grew legs at the age of three, to become
the Kami, Ebisu. Ebisu remains slightly crippled and
deaf, but mirthful and auspicious nonetheless. He is often
depicted wearing a tall hat, the Kazaori Eboshi, and hold-
ing a rod and a large red sea bream or sea bass. Ebisu's
origin came to be tied together with that of the first child
of Izanagi and Izanami, Hiruko. Born without bones due
to his mother's transgression during the marriage ritual,
Hiruko struggled to survive but, as he could not stand, he
was cast into the sea in a boat of reeds before his third
birthday. The story tells that Hiruko eventually washed
ashore, and was cared for by the Ainu Ebisu Saburo. It is Points
however believed that Ebisu first arose as a Kami among Ki Energy: 158
fishermen after the worship of him had spread to mer-
chants and others. Exp. Points: 544
