In Japan, the jellyfish is tied to the God Ebisu. It was said that Ebisu was originally born without any legs or skeletal structure much like the jellyfish. When the child was 3 years old, they put him in a reed boat and set Ebisu adrift on the sea. The child struggled to survive and overcome limitations. In the end Ebisu grew bones and feet. Ebisu always remembered seas that kept the child safe. Here Ebisu is saluting Jellyfish for the times spent in the sea and sharing happiness with them.
