Posted By: Jim Wed, Oct 28, 2015 This is Jurojin, one of the Japanese Seven Gods of Good Fortune. The god of longevity, he is shown here with his staff and a scroll, but is more often depicted holding the Peach of Immortality and frequently in the company of a deer. He is the equivalent of the Chinese Star God Shou, also a god of longevity. Regards, Jim |
