Jizo Bosatsu - guardian deity for good health, recovery from illness, safe childbirth, and child rearing Jizo Bosatsu, famous as Jizo, is said to be in charge of the earth that nurtures all life, and is said to embrace and save people with great compassion. It is said that there will be no Buddha in this world until Maitreya Bodhisattva appears in this world 5.67 billion years later, so he is a bodhisattva who will save all living things during that time. It is said that he is an incarnation of King Enma, and people believed that if he placed his hands on Jizo Bodhisattva even once in this world, he would take his place and save him from the sufferings of hell. Also, unlike other Buddhas, he is said to directly go around the six realms of humanity and provide relief, and is affectionately called ``Jizo-sama.'' By the way, the Six Paths are made up of the world of humanity, heaven, hell, hunger, beasts, and asura. Six Jizo statues are often enshrined in graveyards, and in Buddhism this is called the Rokudo Samsara, where each Jizo is in charge of each world and watches over them to guide the ancestors and deceased who have been reincarnated in one of the six realms.
