Shofuku Kannon is a form of Kannon (Avalokiteśvara), the bodhisattva of compassion venerated in Japanese Buddhism, associated in this aspect with the invocation of good fortune and prosperity. As with other manifestations of Kannon, devotion to this form is traditionally directed toward relief from suffering and the cultivation of well-being, with fortune-related petitions reflecting popular practice rather than formal doctrine. Images and shrines dedicated to Shofuku Kannon can be found at various Japanese Buddhist temples where this aspect of the bodhisattva is venerated.
