The guardian deity for those born in the Year of the Ox (Ushi) and the Year of the Tiger (Tora) is the Bodhisattva Kokūzō. With incomprehensible wisdom and a heart full of compassion, Kokūzō protects you and bestows blessings, as well as imparts knowledge and concentration for living. The improvement of memory enhances your abilities, making you formidable in academics and in society. Blessings are said to bring about a constitution that is less prone to illness, linking strength in winning luck, especially when it truly matters.

From the moment we are born into this world, it is said that we are influenced by the Earth's revolution. The Chinese zodiac consists of ten celestial stems (Jikkan: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui) and twelve earthly branches (Juunishi: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai), combining to form a 60-year cycle. Since ancient times, these numerical representations, especially the twelve earthly branches, have been used in calendars, timekeeping, and directional purposes. Each of these twelve branches corresponds to a guardian deity, and the idea that the guardian deity for one's birth year can influence one's fortune is rooted in this belief.

Famous examples include Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Three-Faced Daikokuten and Uesugi Kenshin's Mudfoot Bishamonten, but many Sengoku warlords are known to have prayed to their guardian deities and dedicated statues as symbols of faith, seeking victory in battles and military achievements. From such examples, it is well known that placing a Buddha statue as a symbol of protection and fortune in one's life is an effective means of fulfilling wishes. While it is good to choose the main deity of your family's sect, it is even more appropriate to select the guardian deity corresponding to your born fate, ensuring the most suitable protection.
