It is said that Myōen-ji's 90cm tall image of Daikokuten was created by Saichō (最澄 767-822), founder of the Tendai sect.
The statue escaped a fire that consumed the temple in 1969, and has become known as the 'Daikokuten that Emerged from the Flames' (火中出現の大黒天).

Absolute A for effort💯! I found this Daikokuten statue that has had its belly rubbed for good luck for so long and with such enthusiasm, it has hollowed part of the stone away!
The bottle of hand sanitizer insures those who rub don't get the luck of the "other" variety 🙌.
(Also, thinly veiled hint about the next show.)
