The Gods of Good Fortune

These Relics are known as the Gods of Good Fortune.
  1. Jurōjin, god of longevity
  2. Fukurokuju, god of happiness, wealth and longevity
  3. Bishamonten, god of warriors
  4. Benzaiten (Benten-sama), goddess of knowledge, art and beauty, especially music
  5. Daikokuten (Daikoku), god of wealth, commerce and trade. Ebisu and Daikoku are often paired and represented as carvings or masks on the walls of small retail shops
  6. Ebisu, god of fishers or merchants, often depicted carrying a sea bream
--I have several of these depicted together or individually. They are all beautiful in their own way.
