Amazake Jizo in Kubocho

Please note that the content introduced here may differ from the current one.

Following the whereabouts of the old Jizo, I searched several times, but couldn't find it, so I told my neighbors this time and finally met.

For a long time, five Jizo Bodhisattvas, which have great benefits for tooth decay, childbirth, inexhaustible, etc., have been given the name "Amazake Jizo" because they offered amazake to thank them for fulfilling their wishes. It seems. One of them was called Neckless Jizo, and there was a suspicious practice that the neck was far from the torso, the betting person prayed before the bet, and if he successfully won, he returned his neck to the torso . It has been relocated due to cliff repair, etc., and is at its current location.

The small Jizo on the left, the head seems to have been supplemented later, but it has a very cute face. It's under the eaves of a private house, but the flowers are always constant.
