Daikokuten (大黒天, Ōnamuchi)
One of the Seven Lucky Gods, associated with good matches, household prosperity and the tying of bonds.
Daikokuten is one of the Seven Lucky Gods, usually shown with a mallet and a sack, and in Japan the name attaches to Ōnamuchi, also called Ōkuninushi, through a reading of the characters of his name. Kanda Myojin enshrines him as the first of its three deities and describes him as the deity of national development, of marital harmony and of the tying of bonds; its matchmaking charm is explicitly his. He is commonly paired with Ebisu, and the two are often enshrined and depicted together.
