Ebisu is the only one indigenous to Japan. Each of the Seven Lucky Gods has a traditional feature or group they are attributed to. They were often depicted sailing in the Takarabune (the "Phantom Treasure Ship"). According to tradition, this ship would sail into towns on New Years Day and give amazing gifts to people worthy of receiving them. In Japan, children are given red envelopes with the Takarabune depicted on it containing money. Jurojin was the god of longevity. He is usually depicted as an old man with a long white beard, holding a staff and a fan or a scroll, and accompanied by a deer, stag, tortoise, or crane. Square-Enix selected a Beastmaster to be the Job in the card's description because only Jurojin is followed by multiple animals (Fukorokuju has some animals too though).
