Ebisu-ko

Japanese: 夷講 - えびすこう

Festival of Ebisu. On the 20th of October in the lunar calendar, merchants gathered at the lodge to hold a drinking party and pray for prosperity in business, but later they began to entertain clients without any ties to the lodge, give thanks to the gods, make oaths, and sell Ebisu-ko. In contrast, the 20th of the lunar New Year is called Hatsu-i or Waka-i, and Ebisu is worshiped as a kitchen god along with Daikoku. At Nishinomiya Shrine and Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, Toka-i and Hatsu-i are on the 10th of the New Year, and in fishing villages in western Japan, Ebisu is also worshiped on the 10th and 11th.

夷の祭。旧10月20日商人仲間が講宿に集まり酒宴を開いて商売繁盛を祈ったが，やがて講とは関係なく取引先を供応し，神に感謝して誓文(せいもん)払い，えびす講の売出しをするようになった。これに対し旧正月20日を初夷，若夷といい，大黒とともに台所の神としてまつる。西宮神社，今宮戎(えびす)神社の十日夷，初夷は正月10日，西日本の漁村でも10日，11日に夷をまつる。
