Jizo Monks - Guardian of Mothers and Children

One of the most beloved of all Japanese divinities, Jizo works to ease the suffering of the living and to answer their prayers for health, success, and children. He is considered a friend to all, never frightening in his many manifestations, even to children. In Japan, it is customary to place statues of Jizo at the intersections of roads and paths so the correct way will be chosen.
