If going by Japanese mythology, Hotei-osho is a Japanese Deity. He looks like a fat Buddhist monk and carries around a sack, which is why some people think he is a Japanese Santa Clause. The Japanese do not think this. He is one of the seven deities of good fortune believed to have originated in the Chan/Zen priest Qì-cĭ (Jp. Kaishi) of the Later Liang (907-923) dynasty; he was added to the gods of fortune as a result of an association with his rotund, contented demeanor. === ===
