Etymology[]
Origin[]
Ebisu is based on the god of the same name, belonging to the shichifukujin (see Benzaiten#Origin).
Ebisu is the only member of the group that is purely Japanese in origin: he was once called Hiruko, son of the creation deities Izanagi and Izanami. However, he was born without bones (or limbs, depending on the version of the story) and barely able to survive, and for that his parents placed him on a raft and abandoned him. Having washed ashore in Hokkaido, he was taken in by an Ainu tribe, overcame many hardships and grew a full skeleton, and though he remained slightly deaf and crippled he became an optimistic, cheerful god who went on to become the patron deity of fishermen, who brings prosperity, abundance of food and good luck in business.
He is generally portrayed wearing a kazaori eboshi (tall formal hat) on his head, carrying a fishing rod and a huge red sea bream. It is not uncommon to see his effigy on seafood restaurants and household kitchens.
Trivia[]
- One of Ebisu's nicknames, "Cheep," may be a reference to Cheep Cheeps, common fish enemies in the Mario franchise.
