The first pilgrimage of the lucky gods dates back to Edo (1603-1868), between the 18th and 19th centuries, when the seven gods were often represented on Ukiyo-e prints. True muses for artists, quickly won the hearts of the population. And the idea of coming to honor them to attract happiness and success in the different spheres of daily life (work, love, health, etc.) was quickly emulated in Japan.

However, the deities of the Shichifukujin Meguri are not strictly speaking "Japanese".
