Jizouji

Jizoji Temple stands quietly in the mountain village of Ogano in Chichibu, Saitama. With Jizo Bodhisattva as its principal image, this temple has long served as a guardian of children and mothers. In the rhythms of mountain life, prayers for safe childbirth and children's wellbeing have never ceased. Though modest in scale, the light of its compassion reaches deep into the mountain valleys.
