A long row of small grey, stone Jizō statues standing closely together in Okunoin cemetery, Japan. They are lined along a moss-covered railing beside a stone staircase leading up to a grave monument. They wear small red scarves or cloths around their necks and knitted red hats.
A row of Jizō in the old Okunoin cemetary in Japan.
A gentle protector of children and travelers in Buddhist tradition.
The small red scarves and knitted hats are placed by families, a quiet sign of love and remembrance.
