Ebisu sama 恵比須さま
Ebisu sama was on vehicle and proceeded slowly. When he passed 六甲 Mount Rokkosan a gentle wind blew and Ebisu became tired and fell asleep.
His companion wanted to wake him up, but could not, so he twisted the skin of his buttocks. He twisted quite strong and Ebisu finally woke up.
The place where this happened is in 本町 Honmachi, Nishinomiya 西宮.
To this day a special festival in his honor is held there, called shiri hineri matsuri 尻ひねり祭 #buttock-twisting festival".

えびす様
暴風の時に舟が遭難して海をさまよい、陸の漁村も流された。舟が陸に帰ることもできず海に浮かんでいると、一点の光を見つけたので、そこにたどりついた。以前は湖であったところに陸ができていて、人々は生地と呼んだ。神様がかがり火を炊き与えて下さった地だからと、お礼に毎年８月１９日には、火をたき舟にえびす様をのせ、神輿に大黒様を乗せて、共に浜を行く祭りをする。
