Jurojin is usually accompanied by the minogame and or the deer. However, this superbly carved okimono by the netsuke carver Hogetsu depicts Jurojin is accompanied by a crane, also a symbol of longevity. He is carrying several scriptures over his shoulder, smilingly glazing forward and gently petting the bird. The name Jurojin in kanji literally can be translated as the Longevity-Old-Man. He is believed to be an incarnation of the Star God of Longevity administers the span of life on earth for mankind; and also worshipped as the patron of scholarly success. Jurojin wears the robes of a scholar with perhaps a Shinto style head-dress. Like Fukurokuju, with whom he is often confused.
