Ehō means “lucky direction” in Japanese and it is the direction where the Lucky Goddess or Toshitokujin (歳徳神) is based on the Onmyōdō that is a traditional Japanese esoteric cosmology. Toshitokujin is commonly known as Toshigami-sama. According to the Onmyōdō, the position of the Toshitokujin changes over time, so the lucky direction changes as well. The lucky direction of 2018 is south-southeast (南南東).
