Kofusachi, often also known as The Laughing God , is the Tian-Hwan god of joy and prosperity.

Appearance

Kofusachi is normally depicted as a plump older Tian man with callused feet who always smiles joyfully. He caries a walking stick and is always followed by a small pack of loyal dogs, or at least his most faithful traveling jindo hound Namsoon, whose fur remains clean regardless of how many ditches he rolls around in. The sounds of jingling coins herald Kofusachi's arrival to a place.

Relationships

Kofusachi is somewhat of a libertine and over the millennia he has taken many mortals and deities across all categories and backgrounds as lovers, a string of brief dalliances that sometimes draws criticism from Shelyn. He maintains strong friendships with Daikitsu, Lady of Foxes; Desna, Goddess of the North Star; and Shelyn, Lady of Chrysanthemums.

Church of Kofusachi

As the god of happiness, prosperity, and abundance, Kofusachi's blessing is sought for significant events such as weddings, childbirth, or important business deals, or more mundane acts such as the start of a long journey. Kofusachi is primarily worshipped in the Tian Xia nations of Hongal, Hwanggot, and Tianjing. Akafuto, the second largest trading port in Minkai, is home to the famous temple of Ukuashi-Ji dedicated to Kofusachi and the prosperity he brings.

Worshipers and clergy

Kofusachan clergyfolk are often wandering monks, and his faith is largely unstructured. Rather than shrines or temples, Kofusachans maintain travel huts in many towns that are never locked and always stocked with nonperishable food and seven coins of local currency.

Religious symbol, favoured weapon, and sacred animal

Kofusachi's religious symbol is a string of seven coins. His favored weapon is his bo staff walking stick, and his sacred animal is the dog, similar to those that constantly follow him.
