Horiuchi Kiyoshi, who was born and raised in Nishinomiya, wrote about a number of good luck customs. Even today, people still try to bring good fortune to themselves by saying lucky words or placing lucky items around them. In this exhibition, we will introduce the Deieties of Fortune, who bring such good fortune to us. “Shichifukujin (The Seven Deities of Good Fortune)”, including Ebisu Daikoku, will gather in the Sake Museum exhibition room for a limited time this year. Please enjoy the appearance of the Deities of Good Fortune as they celebrate the various pre-festival celebrations of happiness.
