The God of Fisherman

This Relic is another statue brought back from Tiawan by my brother Russ.

It is know as Ebisu or called Hiruko or Kotoshiro-nushi-no-kami is the Japanese god of fishermen, luck, and workingmen, as well as the guardian of the health of small children.

He is one of the Chinese Seven Gods of Fortune, and the only one of the seven to originate from Japan.

--I have multiple examples of this guy too.
