JUROJIN – The god of longevity who granted a long life and watched over the elderly. He was depicted as a tall, thin man leaning on a staff to which is attached a scroll containing the secret of eternal life. He was usually accompanied by a deer and a crane, symbols of longevity.

Have you ever noticed, that very rarely deities that provide those with long life and youth rarely are accompanied by the fun stuff in life?
I really enjoy learning about something other than Greek or Egyptian gods which are all anybody else ever covers!
Thanks! That’s nice of you!
Ha! I agree! It’s like if you get to live long you don’t get to have fun.
ur myth posts are so educational
Thank you! !
Jorojin only gets 1 paragraph?!! What gives?
Ha! Not a lot of info on him I’m afraid.
Nice article but it was 2 short compared to ur usual god stories
Many thanks so much! That is actually good to hear!
