Statue Buddha Jizo

Jizo Figurine (Jizo Bodhisattva) – Protector of Travelers and Children 

This charming Jizo figurine (height 12.5 cm, grey color) represents one of the most beloved enlightened beings (Bodhisattva) in Japanese Mahayana Buddhism. With its gentle posture and childlike characteristics, it brings a feeling of peace, compassion, and guardianship into the home.

The Symbolism of Jizo – Compassion and Guardianship

Jizo is primarily known for his deep commitment to compassion. His main role is caring for the souls of unborn children and those who die very young. He often has childlike qualities, similar to those he protects. He is placed at crossroads and on paths, where he helps those who wander and symbolically guides souls. Jizo is also the protector of travelers and the first deity a traveler meets in Japan.

The Jizo statue is therefore an ideal gift or addition to the home, which emphasizes the themes of protection, compassion, and guidance. Place it in a quiet corner or near the entrance as a reminder of a safe journey.
