Jebis (or Jebisu)
in Japanese mythology, was the younger brother of the sun deity, but because he was informed he was cast off by his parents. He lived by fishing, and amassed great wealth. After his death he was worshipped as god of the sea, and as one of the seven gods of wealth. He is represented as the god of waters, the protector of sailors and fishermen, sitting on a lotus-flower, or on a rock, with a line and a fish in his hands.
