Kṣitigarbha, known in Japan as Jizo (地蔵), or respectfully Ojizo-sama, is a bodhisattva worshipped in Buddhism. He is revered for having incarnated on Earth as a bhikkhu, or Buddhist monk, and vowing not to achieve Buddhahood until the spiritual domain of Naraka was emptied of unenlightened souls.[1]
Legacy

In 1582, the Igan kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe and samurai Yasuke encountered many statues of Jizo during their travels in the Kansai region. They would often stop by to make food offerings to the bodhisattva.[2] In Yamato, Naoe encountered a widow named Mayu who, having lost her husband in the war, embarked on a pilgrimage to honor every Jizo statue in Japan. The woman asked Naoe to assist her by visiting the statues whenever she could.[3]
