Watanabe Jizo 渡辺地蔵
岐阜県多治見市山下町



At 245 cm in height, the "Watanabe Jizo" is Tajimi's largest.
Adorned in purple attire, it was erected at what used to be known as the village of Watanabe-cho (from the Edo period until 1944) and is now 4 chome, Hokoji), in the town of Yamashita-cho.
One upon a time, the store-keeper of a rice shop called Komegin went to Tsumagi to get rice stalks. He saw that a statue of Jizo-sama was as a bridge across a small river, which seemed a shame and is probably why they dedicated the new statue in the Watanabe region.

Yamashita Jizo 山下地蔵　

On the children's park of Yamashita-cho in Tajimi (Gifu Prefecture) stands a statue of "Yamashita Jizo," a deity who often grants wishes.



Long ago, people whose wish had been granted gave thanks by making a new Jizo. That is why 30 Jizo statues are lined up side by side. At first, they were in Doba-bora Cave (under Yosei Elementary School) but because few people visited there, they were moved to the base of a nearby chestnut tree, where they were also collectively called the "Chestnut Tree Jizo."



After that, a road was opened there, so the Jizo were again relocated, this time to its present site. Every August 24, the place becomes crowded with the Jizo Bon (the Jizo Festival of the Dead).
When wishes are granted these days, the Jizo may be lightly embraced.
