笑門来福 (shōmon raifuku): "fortune comes to the laughing gate."
Every January 9 to 11, Osaka's shopkeepers pack Imamiya Ebisu Shrine for Tōka Ebisu, the festival of the tenth day. They leave with fukuzasa, branches of lucky bamboo hung with charms, to stand in the shop all year, while the crowd chants for good business. Ebisu looks after fishermen and traders, and he's the only one of the Seven Lucky Gods who's Japanese by birth. His grin is so well known that a beaming face is called ebisu-gao.
On the back he sits grinning in his tall cap, rod in one hand and a sea bream held to his chest, while a white snake, the messenger of the goddess Benzaiten, coils around him. The right column reads 笑門来福 (shōmon raifuku), "fortune comes to the laughing gate," and the left 福徳繁栄 (fukutoku han'ei), "good fortune and prosperity."
Ebisu has looked after small traders for centuries, so hand one to whoever just opened a café, a market stall or a side business. His white line work stays clear on washed black, and his fellow lucky gods are among the other gods and guardians.
