Tōsen-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashi-Mizumoto, Japan.
The temple features a stone Jizo Bosatsu statue that visitors frequently wrap with ropes as part of their spiritual practices at the site.
Founded in 1348, Tōsen-ji gained recognition through the Case of the Bound Jizo, where judge Ōoka Tadasuke used the statue to solve a theft case.
The temple maintains the tradition of binding and unbinding the Jizo statue, with visitors performing this ritual when making and receiving granted wishes.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 15-minute walk from Kanamachi Station, which connects to both the JR Joban Line and Keisei Kanamachi Line.
Through centuries of binding rituals, the surface of the Jizo statue has become smooth, marking the countless prayers and wishes of temple visitors.
