Jmyth navbox and infobox[edit]

The {{Jmyth infobox}} that is currently included on this page does not ~~mention the Seven Lucky Gods~~ list the individual gods. Another template, {{Jmyth navbox long}}, which is normally placed at the bottom of pages to show links to related pages, does link both to this page and the pages of the several gods, as well as to topics in Shinto and Buddhism. Mightn't that be a better fit for this page? Cnilep (talk) 23:03, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Order[edit]

The article lists the gods in order, which matches one of the pictures, but not the other. The only set of figures I have seen has a third order yet (though all three have similarities with the gods of prosperity tending to be on the right, happiness on the left and Bishamonten and Benzaiten near the middle). Is there a significance to the order, and are there traditions, or is it arbitrary? In either case, the numbering at the moment without further comment is unhelpful, and should perhaps be replaced by bullet points. --xensyria^T 23:26, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Daikokuten is mixed in Hindu and Shinto. Okuninushi is a Japanese myth.[edit]

Daikokuten is not pure Shiva.　Wikipedia seems to delete existence of Okuninushi. 220.96.4.14 (talk) 22:56, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added to the History section and to the Ōkuninushi article with a reference to prevent it from being summarily deleted. Is the new wording alright in your opinion? ‑‑xensyria^T 13:12, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
