The hundreds of Jizo figures at Zojo-ji temple always turn heads…
but some just have that extra fashion flare!
Whether the Jizo-san’s family gives a tongue-in-cheek nod to the traditional red cap and bib…
mixes it up with new colors and handmade style…
accessorizes with all the latest trends in Jizo fashion…
dresses their Jizo-san in the latest kid gear…
or knits a super seasonal sweater to be the cutest Jizo in the class…
it always cheers me up to see these memorials to lost children being so lovingly cared for.
