2025 is the Year of the Snake!
This auspicious painting depicts Benzaiten, the goddess of wealth, and the white snake, the water deity, bringing various kinds of riches!

Benzaiten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, has been worshipped as the goddess who oversees music and the arts, inspired by the sound of flowing water. Over time, "Benzaiten" evolved to "Benzaiten," associated with washing coins in the sacred spring of Zeniaraibenten to generate wealth. The day of the snake in the lunar calendar is deeply linked to Benzaiten, bestowing financial luck, and Benzaiten has been widely revered as a deity of wealth. Since ancient times, snakes have been regarded as messengers of Benzaiten and Uka-no-Mitama, revered as divine beasts that bring fertility and prosperity. Dreams about snakes are said to summon wealth and financial luck, and their molting is associated with immortality, making them venerated deities of agriculture and water. This auspicious painting illustrates the mystical connection between Benzaiten and the snake against the backdrop of a flowing river.
