Ebisu

Ebisu is a Japanese god of prosperity, wealth, and business, often depicted as a cheerful, pot-bellied man holding a sea bream (tai) and a rice sheaf. In Shinto, the indigenous spirituality of Japan, Ebisu is one of the Seven Lucky Gods (七福神, Shichifukujin) and is revered for his ability to grant success and fortune. The name "Ebisu" is sometimes translated to Hebrew as אביסו, though this is not a direct translation but rather a transliteration. In Chinese, Ebisu is known as 恵比須 (Huìbū) or (Yí), and in Korean, he is referred to as 에비스 (Ebiseu). Ebisu is also associated with fishermen and merchants, and his image is often displayed in shops and businesses to attract good luck. The annual Ebisu Shrine festival in Tokyo's Azabu-Juban district is a popular event where people gather to pray for business success and prosperity.
