A Jizo statue

Jizo statues are statues of the bodhisattva Kṣitigarbha, known in Japan as Jizo, or respectfully Ojizo-sama, that are located throughout the country. They are commonly found at roadsides as well as in graveyards.[1]

In the 1580s, the Iga 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]
