The Jizo Statues of Zojoji Temple

"These statues are placed there to pray for the health and safety of young children, as well as pray for the souls of mizuko, literally “water children.” Mizuko is the term used in Japan to refer to the souls of children who died before birth or shortly after. There are around 1,300 Jizo statues at Zojoji" (Source: https://tokyopast3.com/tokyo-zojoji-jizo/)
