We visited the Zojoji temple and were amazed at the numbers of little Jizo statues that were both so colourful and sad at the same time. The Jizo statues are the Buddist “angels” and are the protector of the souls of stillborn babies. They all had little red bonnets and many of them held colourful windmills.
