For this reason, it is believed that Ebisu becomes enraged whenever people pollute the ocean.Įbisu's festival is celebrated on the twentieth day of the tenth month, Kannazuki (the month without gods). As Ebisu is said to have no arms or legs, fishermen often suggest it takes 7 years for things like screws, bolts, or umeboshi seeds, to turn up on shore as Ebisu carries the seed in his mouth and crawls his way along the ocean floor. Fishermen tell stories of how Ebisu keeps the ocean safe and pristine, pushing debris to the shore. The fishermen’s relationship with Ebisu is indicative of Japan’s relationship with nature as a whole. In fishing communities across Japan it is extremely common to see fishermen ritualistically praying to Ebisu before they head out for the day. Jellyfish are also associated with the god and the fugu restaurants of Japan will often incorporate Ebisu in their motif. He is often depicted wearing a tall hat-the Kazaori Eboshi ( 風折烏帽子)-holding a rod and a large red sea bream or sea bass. He remains slightly crippled and deaf, but mirthful and auspicious nonetheless (hence the title, "The laughing god"). The weak child overcame many hardships, grew legs (and, presumably, the rest of his skeletal structure) at the age of three, and became the god Ebisu. Statue of Ebisu in front of Ebisu Station, Tokyo As part of the shichifukujin, Ebisu has three sets of temples and shrines in Tokyo, the Mukojima, Yamate (Bluff), and Meguro sets. įor some communities, in addition for being a deity of fishing, wealth, and fortune, Ebisu is also associated with objects that would drift ashore from the sea such as logs and even corpses. Ebisu, together with Daikokuten, was considered the most popular of these seven and was venerated in almost every Japanese home. He became one of the shichifukujin or the seven gods of fortune, which include Daikokuten, Bishamonten, Benzaiten, Fukurokuju, Jurojin, and Hotei. It is also theorized that he was originally a god known as " Kotoshironushi no Mikoto", son of Ōkuninushi. It is however believed that Ebisu first arose as a god among fishermen and that his origin as Hiruko was a much later conception, after the worship of him had spread to merchants and farmers. The story tells that Hiruko eventually washed ashore-possibly in Ezo ( 蝦夷, ancient Hokkaidō)-and was cared for by the Ainu Ebisu Saburo ( 戎三郎). 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. In medieval times, Ebisu's origin came to be tied together with that of Hiruko - the first child of Izanagi and Izanami, born without bones (or, in some stories, without arms and legs) due to his mother's transgression during the marriage ritual. He is one of the Seven Gods of Fortune ( 七福神, Shichifukujin), and the only one of the seven to originate purely from Japan without any Buddhist or Taoist influence. There is a third theory that states that he was a lizard-like tumor on v1, which eventually grew off and became who he is today.Ebisu ( えびす, 恵比須, 恵比寿, 夷, 戎), also transliterated Webisu ( ゑびす, see historical kana orthography) or called Hiruko ( 蛭子) or Kotoshiro-nushi-no-kami ( 事代主神), is the Japanese god of fishermen and luck. Another theory from recent research shows that he is the result of an unknown god having a four way with a flute player and a Mexican and some random guy in a alley. This event is said to have occurred not long after sye's incarnation in our realm. OG Drift God was said to be born from the realms 78 of Drift God v1 thus creating OG Drift God.
