Product Details

Daikokuten, also known as one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, is a revered deity in Japan. It is said that upon arrival in Japan, the god came to be associated with the similar-sounding Daikoku-Myōjin, and thus became widely revered in popular belief. Historically known as a god of abundance and prosperity, particularly in relation to food and wealth, today Daikokuten is commonly depicted holding a small mallet in his right hand and a large sack in his left, sitting atop a pile of rice bales, and is widely worshiped by many people.

大黒天(Daikokuten) is one of the important Bodhisattvas and deities in Japanese Buddhism, especially revered in esoteric Buddhism. He is widely known as a deity of good fortune, prosperity, business success, and wealth, and is the object of devotion and worship.

Usually depicted as a figure with dark skin and a rich, bearded man, one of Daikokuten's distinctive features is the presence of three sacred jewels (宝珠, hōju) atop his head. These jewels symbolize wealth and good fortune and are significant symbols when his followers pray for success and prosperity. Additionally, Daikokuten is often portrayed in a seated position, symbolizing stability and affluence.

Daikokuten is particularly revered among merchants and businesspeople, as he is considered a deity who can bring success and prosperity to their endeavors. Many rituals and prayers for business success and prosperity involve offerings and devotions to Daikokuten. Furthermore, he is also worshipped in households, where he is believed to bring prosperity and happiness to families when enshrined on household altars.

The worship of Daikokuten is also connected to traditional Japanese Shinto beliefs, and he is enshrined in Shinto shrines as well. He has become deeply rooted in Japan's religious landscape as a symbol of wealth, fortune, prosperity, and happiness, and is trusted by many followers.

In summary, Daikokuten is a significant deity in Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism, known for symbolizing wealth, good fortune, business success, and prosperity.
