Lucky Yebisu

Lucky Yebisu by hiromy.
This is a label of Yebisu beer, and do you know that fat man, Yebisu-sama, holds fishing rod and red bream? He is the Japanese god of good luck and red bream is regarded as the good luck fish in Japan.
Now, why is this called "Lucky" Yebisu? Because THIS Yebisu-sama has an extra red bream in the basket behind. The god of good luck has TWO good luck fish!! This is so lucky!!
( This is only on bottled Yebisu beer and you can draw it 1 in 155. hmmm How lucky? )
