As the word kissho (auspicious) suggests, this is a goddess that represents prosperity and good fortune, and she is also revered as a symbol of beauty. Her dance is said to be an auspicious sign that brings abundant harvests and is still performed as the Gosechi no Mai dance at every ceremonial occasion in the palace. As the wife of Bishamonten, she protects the northern area as a family together with Zennishi Doji, the youngest of their five sons.
