| Ch: Fulushou. A popular deity of wealth, fuku , happiness, roku \, and longevity, ju υ, and also associated with the Southern Pole Star, nankyokusei μΙ―. The origin of the god may lie in the story by Yangzheng (Jp: Yousei zι), advisor to Emperor Wu (Jp: Butei ι, 464-549) of the Liang dynasty, which holds that Fukurokuju counselled the emperor to end conscription of slaves from a certain province and thus earned the reputation as a god of happiness in the region. An auspicious subject in Chinese and Japanese painting, he is usually accompanied by a bat and tortoise, and occasionally a stag with a small body and elongated bald head, Fukurokuju is often confused with *Juroujin υVl, but can be differentiated by the animals shown with him. Fukurokuju is included among the seven gods of good fortune *shichifukujin ΅_. | ||||||
