The God of Luck is from Ikeda!

"Billiken" (known as Billiken-san in Japan) gained popularity as a "God of Luck" in America. During the late Meiji period, Billiken-san was trademarked by businessman Tamura Komajiro who enshrined it at his company and famous location in Tsutenkaku, Osaka. A statue of Billiken-san has been placed in Ikeda because it was Tamura's hometown. Billiken-san is now a symbol of Ikeda the "City of Good Fortune".
