There will also be the Dance of the Seven Lucky Gods, a traditional Japanese festival performance based on the Shichifukujin, the Seven Gods of Good Fortune. Performers dress as each deity and appear one by one, acting out short, playful dances that represent wealth, happiness, success and long life. The dance usually ends with all seven gods together, blessing the audience with good fortune for the year ahead.
