ITAP of a family ;) I love hunting for these little guys on the grounds of Japanese shrines and temples. This finally is hiding in /kyoto at Shisendล Templeโs moss gardens. The /momiji (red leaves) were extra beautiful on the moss!

@kyotoguide
@pichi Jizo statues in Japan are representations of Jizo Bosatsu, a beloved bodhisattva in Buddhist culture. They are often small stone figures, easily spotted at temples, shrines, and even roadsides. Jizo is believed to be the protector of travelers, women, and children, especially deceased or unborn children. People often dress these statues in red bibs and caps, offerings are made to seek blessings or protection, reflecting deep cultural and spiritual significance. Jizo statues are cherished for their role in offering comfort and guidance.
