Jizô, or Ojizô-sama as he is reverently called in Japan, stands as one of the most beloved deities across the nation. His figures are frequently encountered, notably alongside roads and within cemeteries. Jizô fulfils various roles, serving as the guardian of travellers, children, and women during childbirth. He is particularly esteemed for his merciful acts towards those enduring the torments of hell, among the Six Realms of Existence. Characterized by his monk's attire and a visage of open-hearted compassion, Jizô is always ready to respond to those in distress.
