This awesome sketch art card of Benzaiten from Japanese Mythology is drawn by the very talented artist Lisa Leblanc :iconnerdvana21: for our Classic Mythology III trading card set.



Benzaiten - in Japanese mythology Benzaiten is one of the Shichi-fuku-jin (Seven Gods of Luck); the Buddhist patron goddess of literature and music, of wealth, and of femininity. She is generally associated with the sea; many of her shrines are located near it, and she is frequently depicted riding on, or accompanied by, a sea dragon. According to one legend, she married a sea dragon, thus putting an end to his ravages of the island Enoshima. She is often shown playing the biwa, a kind of lute. A white serpent serves as her messenger.
