Hotei, like Daikoku , is a god of abundance. He is also the god of laughter and the happiness you can achieve by being satisfied with what you have. He is the god of joy and satisfaction in trade, hence a Hotei statue is often positioned at the entrance of stores. He is depicted as a laughing man with a huge belly symbolising his benevolent soul. He carries a ceremonial fan (ogi) and a large bag of riches (usually rice) over his shoulder. The supply of rice from his bag is never exhausted so he can afford to be generous; there is always sufficient to feed the hungry. Sometimes he is shown sitting in a cart drawn by a few grateful children who have benefited from Hotei's altruism.
