Shirihiyashi Jizō, Buddhist statue in Kasugai, Japan
The wooden Kṣitigarbha statue stands 30 inches tall, featuring intricate details with lacquer, pigments, and a decorative halo measuring 41 by 24 inches.
The religious figure dates back to 1648 and represents the Bodhisattva Jizo, who made a vow to guide all beings from the realms of suffering before reaching enlightenment.
Japanese devotees visit the statue to offer prayers and make offerings, particularly for the protection and guidance of children in both life and afterlife.
The statue remains accessible through local transportation networks in Kasugai, with specific viewing hours and protocols established for visitors throughout the year.
The statue exhibits a provincial carving style from a single wood block, featuring distinctive drapery folds that spread diagonally across the robe in raised flat belts.
