O-Jizo-Sama

Mar2019

Towards the end of the waterfall trail on my return from Mt. Takau I noticed these statues. At the time it was just a pattern for a photographer, but later I researched on these statues and found very interesting significance behind it.
O-Jizo-Sama - are most venerated monks. They are ones who have attained enlightenment but still are spending time in this world as a guide for others. They are protectors of children who have passed before they were born and under their protection would safely get to other world. They are also guide to travelers who would stray their paths and by this virtue definitely are my favorite as well 🙏.
