S11E12 Seven Lucky Gods: Blessings of Fortune and Happiness for All

The Seven Lucky Gods, originating from the deities of Japan, China, and India, are often illustrated sailing on a treasure ship. This tradition is linked to a pilgrimage that began in Kyoto, where each of the seven temples and shrines honors one of these divine figures, allowing devotees to seek their blessings. Recently, the pilgrimage has led to a surge in visits to these sacred sites, with worshippers gathering Goshuin seals as mementos of their spiritual journey. Experience the vibrant faith surrounding these deities in Kyoto today.
