[Health, Longevity, Healing from Illness] Jurojin is one of the Seven Lucky Gods, a group of gods and buddhas that are popular as the gods of good fortune and virtue. Jurojin is the same Chinese Taoist god as Fukurokuju, and is the embodiment of the South Pole Star. He is an elegant figure with a beard, riding a turtle, which is a symbol of longevity, and holding a fan that is said to ward off misfortune and bring in good luck. The Seven Lucky Gods are surprisingly little known, but they are made up of the gods and Buddhas of India, China, and Japan. It is said that the belief in the Seven Lucky Gods began at the end of the Muromachi period and became widely established among the common people from the middle of the Edo period. After that, customs such as the Shichifukujin pilgrimage and the treasure ship were born, and today it is popular as a charming deity and Buddhist deity that brings good luck.
