Jizo Bosatsu, the compassionate children's god, has been a beloved figure in Japanese Buddhism for centuries. Depicted as a monk with a protective child in his arms, Jizo is known for his role in guiding and protecting children, travelers, and the deceased on their journeys. This illustration from "The Book of Myths" by Amy Cruse (1925) offers a glimpse into Jizo's calming presence. The statue from the Kamakura period (late 12th/early 13th century) showcases Jizo's serene expression and the child's playful gaze. Miraculous tales of Jizo's interventions are documented in this Edo period (1627) handscroll, and Kano Tan'yu's masterful brushwork brings the story to life. A wood statue from the Late Heian/Fujiwara Period (11th-12th century) reveals Jizo's intricate details, while a 1912 photograph captures the statue's peaceful aura in a pine grove. Wayfarers throughout history have sought solace and protection in Jizo's presence, as depicted in this 1840 woodblock print. Jizo Bosatsu's enduring legacy as a guardian and source of comfort continues to resonate with people today.
