Kisshōten

Kisshōten, Kichijōten (吉祥天), Kisshō Tennyo (吉祥天女; Japanese pronunciation: [kʲi̥ɕ.ɕoː teꜜɲ.ɲo]) and Kudokuten (功徳天) are among the Japanese names of Sri, a Hindu/Buddhist goddess or Devi (天（女）, Ten(nyo)). She is sometimes named as one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, replacing either Jurōjin or Fukurokuju. For example, in the 1783 edition of the Butsuzōzui compendium (reprinted in 1796), Kichijōten replaces Fukurokuju as one of the seven fukujin. She is considered to be the goddess of happiness, fertility, and beauty. Kisshō Tennyo's iconography is distinguished by the Nyoihōju gem (如意宝珠) in her hand, and with a headdress and a phoenix/fenghuang/hōō. Kisshōten and the Nyoihōju gem are both represented by the symbol of the kagome. According to the Golden Light Sutra her mother is Kishimojin and father is Takshaka.
