Kisshōten (吉祥天, lit. "Auspicious Heavens"), also known as Kichijōten, Kisshoutennyo (吉祥天女), or Kudokuten (功徳天), is a Japanese female deity, Kisshoutennyo is sometimes named as one of the Seven Gods of Fortune (fukujin), replacing either Jurōjin or Fukurokuju.[1] For example, in the 1783 edition of the Butsuzōzui compendium (reprinted in 1796), Kichijōten replaces Fukurokuju as one of the seven fukujin.[2] She is considered to be the goddess of happiness, fertility, and beauty.[1][3][4] Kisshoutennyo's iconography is distinguished by the Nyoihōju gem (如意宝珠) in her hand,[5] Kisshōten and the Nyoihōju gem are both represented by the symbol of the kagome.

When Kisshoutennyo is counted among the seven fukujin[2] and fellow Fukujin Daikoku is regarded in feminine form,[6]
