Zojoji Temple

Zojoji Temple is dedicated to Jizo, the patron saint of travelers and departed children.




The picture below is my favorite, love how the Tower is behind the temple.

Here are rows of statues with bonnets and windmills. They are statues of Jizobosatusu, the protector of the souls of stillborn children, and the buddhist equivalent of an angel
