Japanese Buddhist Goddess of love, eloquence, wisdom, the arts, music, knowledge, good fortune and water. Benzaiten (affectionately known as Benten) Japanese Buddhist Goddess of Music, Fine Arts, Dancing and Good Fortune. She is the sole female among the seven lucky gods of japan. She is the patroness of geishas, dancers, and musicians. Symbolism: / She has eight arms and in her hands she holds a sword, a jewel, a bow, an arrow, a wheel, and a key. The jewel grants desires, it’s said it’s either jade or a pearl. It is often related that when a dragon devoured many children, she descended to earth to stop his evil work. The snake is almost always associated with Benzaiten, who was originally a Hindu deity (Saraswati) who represented learning, music and poetry. Such artistic learning and wisdom often bring prosperity, hence her inclusion in the Japanese group of seven lucky Gods.
