This little character is an important figure for Japanese people, who ask her for help or implore her as they would a mother. Of all the deities, he's certainly the one to whom the Japanese feel closest.

This little Jizo can help you chase away bad luck and make your wishes come true. His image is omnipresent in temples, towns and the countryside. He is usually depicted in the guise of a monk, dressed in robes and with a shaved head.

He often holds a stick called a shakujo. This stick is used to frighten off living creatures so that he doesn't accidentally injure them. He is reputed to be the protector of travelers, children, deceased children and fallen soldiers.

The amulet here contains a fragment of gold leaf believed to ward off evil. Many Japanese carry this type of amulet in their wallet or purse as an invitation to good fortune.
