Mōtsūji Jizō Bosatsu
Statues of the bodhisattva Jizō are common, often seen in the form of a monk with a shaved head and wearing simple robes. Jizō is the protector of all sentient beings and offers relief from suffering and guidance through the worlds beyond death. Not much is known about this exact statue and its relation to Mōtsūji temple, but it possibly dates from the Edo period (1603–1868).
