Daikokuten: Culture, Iconography & Worship
Daikokuten (大黒天; Japanese pronunciation: [dai.ko.kɯ̥ꜜ.teɴ, dai.koꜜ.kɯ̥.teɴ]) is a syncretic Japanese deity of fortune, luck and wealth. Daikokuten originated from Mahākāla, the Buddhist Deva (天, Ten) conflated with the native Shinto god Ōkuninushi. He is a patron of farmers, cooks and jobs related to money such as bankers.
