	Fukurokuju - God of Wisdom and Longevity
		Fukurokuju probably originated from an old Chinese tale about a mythical Taoist Chinese hermit sage (Sung Period) renowned for performing miracles.
		Fukurokuju is sometimes shown with a drinking vessel (tokkuri) in his left hand, but this is most likely a mistake, for it is Juroujin (not Fukurokuju) who is considered a lover of rice wine (sake).
		Daikoku is the deity of prosperity, while Fukurokuju is the deity of longevity.
