Sakanoshita Kanagawa Giappone

Hase-dera Temple.

Il terreno del tempio ospita centinaia di piccole statue di Jizō, collocate dai genitori in lutto per aborti spontanei e bambibini nati morti.

Queste statue rimangono sul posto per circa un anno, prima di essere rimosse per far posto ad altre statue; si stima che circa 50.000 statue di Jizō siano state collocate a Hase-dera dalla seconda guerra mondiale.

 

Hase-dera Temple.

The temple grounds are home to hundreds of small statues of Jizō, placed by parents mourning miscarriages and stillborn babies.

These statues remain in place for about a year before being removed to make way for other statues; an estimated 50,000 statues of Jizō have been placed in Hase-dera since World War II.
