And other gods of stone. Jizo is literally "Earth Womb," and they are associated with a Buddhist Boddhistatva and protector of children, and prebuddhist stone border gods of fertility. Jizo was the god at the border of the vilage. In that sense a sort of gate. There are more than 75 Jizo behind Rurikoji Temple and many more dotted around the city. I will upload their locations to timtak.com
They remind me of Filipino Bulul. The comparison between Jizo and Bulul, and their application in tourism would be worthy of study. I think that they make good souvenirs, mascots and that people might like to do a Jizo and or Bulul tour. Their red hats are photogenic.
There is still a strong tradition of praying to Jizo. Some of these had prayer mats and incense still burning. I have seen primary school children greet the Jizo as they walk past. Many of them have offerings of food and drinks and low value coins.
Not all of these are Jizo. Some are other objects of worship such as Sarutahiko and Kannon.
According to the Japanese wikipedia page the benefits of praying to Jizo are many:

Adult content: While it is said that the hats are there due to a legend that an old couple were rewarded for clothing the Jizo who looked cold, there is another theory that it may also be because some of the stone, border gods are phallic and the hats may be hiding this. I have yet to find a Jizo with a cleft pate but I look.
Well, some golden artifacts from ancient Colombia. These Indians didn't leave huge temples or pyramids, but had gold as main metal. Conquistadors, Spanish, Dutch, English robbed a lot of it during ages, but this museum still shows a nice collection of it. I made a lot of pics, but can't show them all...

Water Protectors engineered a makeshift wooden pedestrian bridge over the Cantapeta Creek on November 2, 2016. They were trying to access ancestral burial grounds they believe are being damaged by the Dakota Access Pipeline construction. Heavily armed law enforcement officials were deployed. As they pulled the bridge apart with boats, the Water Protectors swam and used their own boats to cross the water. Standing unarmed in the cold water, the protectors were forcibly repelled by the enforcers with tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets. Standoffs between the Water Protectors and law enforcement over the Dakota Access Pipeline continue in the area that has become ground zero for opposition to a $3.7 billion project that would move domestic crude oil across four states and destroy tribal lands.

This Australian native bird, a Masked Lapwing, previously known as a Masked or Spur-winged Plover, or simply a Plover, was protecting a nest in the grounds of a church at Gosford on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Not long after this shot was taken, it began swooping on people who came too close.

BROCOLI es una gatita preciosa, buenísima y toda dulzura. Una pareja la encontró a finales del pasado noviembre, herida, delgada, sucia y sola entre el tráfico. No pudieron mirar para otro lado y aunque su piso era pequeño y ya tenían dos gatas, se la llevaron.
Lo primero que hicieron fue llevarla al veterinario, valorar su estado y hacerle el test de Leucemia e Inmunodeficiencia felina, a los que salió negativa. Después de eso Brocoli estuvo aislada para que pudiera recuperase tranquilamente, pero de repente se puso enferma. Tuvieron que llevarla de nuevo al veterinario y visto el cuadro sintomático que presentaba se le repitió el test. Por desgracia resultó que en el anterior había dado un falso negativo y tuvieron incluso que hacerle una transfusión de sangre para que se recuperara.
Tras esta recaída Brocoli mejoró muchísimo, pero al ser positiva en Leucemia, esta pareja no podía quedársela ya que sus dos gatas están sanas y era un riesgo para ellas convivir con Brócoli.
Con todo el dolor de su corazón, se tuvieron que poner en contacto con nosotros para ver si podíamos ocuparnos de ella y ayudarles a que Brócoli pudiera encontrar un hogar donde poder vivir sin límites de espacio.
Ahora está adaptándose a un nuevo lugar, nuevos compañeros y nuevos humanos.
Brócoli es una gatita buena y dulce que no da ningún ruido, es un ángel que se merece una familia.
