I miss travelling - pre-pandemic, we were super lucky & got to travel several times a year on short breaks. I decided to make this painting of the Jizo statues we saw during 1 trip to Tokyo. There is so much more I wanted to write... but ran out of room. Also, I cannot do calligraphy so the writing is very wonky, but art is imperfect, right??

A Jizo statue working out along the trail up Mount Misen.  You have to stay in shape when you’re the guardian of children and travelers.

Cute Jizo statues in Tokyo, said to be the protectors of children and travelers. A tradition that can help grieving parents cope with the loss of a child. Check out my site for more travel inspiration - www.klutzytraveler.com

Jizo statues in Kamakura, Japan. Jizo take care of the souls of unborn children and those who died at a young age. Children “in limbo” in Japan are said to go to a place called sai no kawara, where they must create piles of stones into small towers. But every night the stone towers are destroyed by demons, so the next day the children must make new piles of stones. The making of these towers is to help their parents accrue merit for their own afterlife.
