In the Muromachi period the idea of celebrating the '7 Gods of Fortune' began in Kyōto, and it is likely that the first Shichifukujin Mairi pilgrimage (都七福神まいり) originated at Ebisu-jinja (えびす神社).
From Kyōto similar pilgrimages spread across Japan.

Ebisu-jinja's 'Tōka Ebisu Matsuri' (十日えびす祭 'Ebisu’s Festival on the 10th Day') is held around Ebisu's birthday on January 10th (he was born in the Year of the Tiger).
As he god of business prosperity, fisherman, and good fortune, Ebisu is one of the most popular of the '7 Gods of Fortune' (七福神).

Placing an image of the Takarabune beneath your pillow on January 2nd is said to encourage dreams. If you dream of the boat, the year will be a lucky one.
In this busy twilight period between the old year and the new the 'Seven Gods of Fortune' (七福神) provide a useful service.
As a group they can pretty much answer all your prayers, from health to happiness, from improved business to improved brain capacity. -

Although Santa has readily been embraced in Japan, there was another cheerful, big-bellied figure bringing cheer to children long before old Father Christmas arrived on these shores.
Hotei (布袋) was a Chinese monk that lived in the coastal district of Wuyue. After his death, around 917, he became a Buddhist saint and was eventually made one of the 'Seven Gods of Fortune' (七福神) in Japan.
He shares many similarities with old Father Christmas.
