Event info｜Toka Ebisu Festival
About
Toka Ebisu is a festival at Imamiya Ebisu Shrine in Osaka's Naniwa district, where visitors pray to Ebisu, known as a deity of business prosperity. The celebration flourished during the Edo period and unfolds over three days, with an opening eve, main festival and closing celebration. A distinctive custom is receiving a lucky bamboo branch, or fukuzasa, and decorating it with sacred paper charms and auspicious ornaments called kiccho. These include money bags, koban coins, rice bales and sea bream, attached with the help of festival attendants known as fukumusume. Bamboo's upright growth, flexibility and evergreen leaves symbolize hopes for a flourishing household and business. Worship, prayers and decorated bamboo branches remain central to this Imamiya Ebisu tradition.
