The younger of the two, Ebisu, is shown with a huge fish on his back and a bamboo fishing rod on his shoulder: he is the most important patron of produce from the sea. Daikoku is shown sitting on two baskets of rice. He is smiling broadly, holding a huge sack on his back with one hand, while in the other hand he raises a hammer.
