I love Jizo.

I will visit your store and if you'd like me to send you some stuff from Japan, let me know.

Also, I wrote a webpage on Jizo, if you don't mind reviewing it and maybe linking to it

Thank you

we learned a little about these in my intro to religion class. The lesson really helped me through my own loss.

WOW.. This video brings me back to my highschool days. A girl friend of my best friend had an abortion. me, our other friend and himself, 3 of us went to a shrine to get that jizo to purge his sin. No offense, I understand that is just a piece of art for western people.

Hello infrign724, Thank you for viewing and sharing your experience. Here in Japan people who have experienced the loss of a child will indeed often purchase a small Mizuko Jizo statue to place at a special temple altar. They will usually also have a special service performed by a Buddhist priest. A larger version of this statue which features Jizo with several babies will usually form the centerpiece for such an outdoor altar. The smaller statues are then placed around the large one. -Kurt
