binbô no kami, also called binbôgami, is the  • kami of poverty . Those he comes to stay with, soon experience a serious decline in their fortunes. Most often he is "invited" to move on to the next house, village, or town. However, there are several stories in Japanese folklore where he has been invited to stay or even been enshrined, both of which actions have been beneficial to his hosts.
norito are offered to binbô no kami on every Friday of each month.
