Zojo-ji temple Jizo Statues Part II – 三縁山増上寺 – 4K Ultra HD : Close to the main Daiden, Zojo-ji Temple main building, stands a very unique cemetery also known as the Unborn Children’s Garden, where people come and and pray for the miscarried, aborted or stillborn children of Japan.
This cemetery or garden, is unique in many ways since unlike usual cemeteries you will not find any graves, but hundreds of small stone statues that parents can choose and decorate with small clothing and toys for their unborn child or children. Also to make sure that their child/children will have the chance to be brought to the afterlife, parents and family members usually put a small gift next to the statute to Jizo (Jizō) the guardian of unborn children, to ensure that their child or children will find their way to heaven safely.
