The festival
is held in Nishinomiya shrine on the 10th of January. It is called "TOKA EBISU Festival."
EBISU
is a Japanese God, one of the seven fortune deities. He is considered to be a god of fishery. A big tuna is dedicated to the shrine.
Ebessan
is a nickname of Ebisu. He is also considerd to be a god of business prosperity.
Therefore people buy Ebisu doll to pray for the prosperity.
Of course I bought a big bamboo decoration to pray for the exterminatin of corona virus and coming back to normal life. /filters:quality(80)/fit-in/1024x1024/gowithguide/posts/4488/96480.jpg)
