A stone statue sat just beside the torii gate of the Ebara Shrine. It was Ebisu-san. He is holding a fishing rod in his left hand and a sea bream in his left hand. He must have had a big catch. He was smiling very happily. Ebisu-san is one of the seven gods of good fortune. Although he has a strong impression of being a god of prosperity, he was originally a fishing god, so he is holding a fishing rod.

While the other gods of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune, Daikokuten and Jurojin, are gods who came to Japan, Ebisu-san was born in Japan. Such Ebisu-san is always happy and smiling, regardless of whether he is seen or not by humans. When I looked at him, I felt as if I could hear his laughter.
