In the minds of the Japanese,Daikokuten is not only the protector of Buddhism,but also the god in charge of agricultural harvests and wealth,and one of the Seven Gods of Good Luck. In Japan it is considered to be the same god as the Shinto Daikoku Lord. He often holds a golden gavel as a magical money gavel and is seen standing on rice bags, signifying plenty of food.
