- quote
Jizō vowed to assist beings in each of the Six Realms of Desire and Karmic Rebirth, in particular those in the hell realm, and is thus often shown in groupings of six.

.. more details on the six states (also called the Six Paths of Transmigration or Reincarnation, the Wheel of Life, the Cycle of Samsara, or Cycle of Suffering), ..
In Japan, groupings of six Jizō statues (one for each of the Six Realms) are quite common and often placed at busy intersections or oft-used roads to protect travelers and those in "transitional" states. Jizō also often carries a staff with six rings, which he shakes to awaken us from our delusions. The six rings likewise symbolize the six states of desire and karmic rebirth and Jizō’s promise to assist all beings in those realms. In Japanese traditions, the six rings, when shaken, are also meant to make a sound and thus frighten away any insects or tiny animals in the direct path of the pilgrim, thus ensuring the pilgrim does not slay or accidentally kill any life form.
In Chinese traditions, Jizō shakes the six rings to open the doors between the various realms.

Worship of the Six Jizō can be traced back to the 11th century in Japan, but this grouping has no basis in Mahayana scripture or in the writings of Buddhist clergy. Its origin is probably linked to a similar grouping of Six Kannon (one for each of the six realms) that appeared in the early 10th century in Japan’s Tendai 天台 sect. This grouping of Six Kannon originated much earlier in China, and draws its scriptural basis from the Mo-ho-chih-kuan (Jp. Makashikan 摩訶止観), a work (circa 594 AD) by the noted Chinese Tien-tai master Chih-i 智顗 (538 - 597). By the 11th century, Japan’s Shingon sect also began venerating the Six Kannon. The worship of Six Jizō appeared around the same time. The six emanations of Jizō vary among temples and sects.

Hats for Six Jizō, Popular Children’s Book
Kasa Jizō 笠地蔵 (Hatted Jizō or Jizō with Hat),
also known as Hibō Jizō 被帽地蔵) is an extremely popular fairy tale attributed to both Iwate and Fukushima prefectures. Below summary from the Japan Society. On New Year's Eve, a poor old man goes to the village, hoping to sell a piece of cloth his wife wove to make some money for the New Year's holiday. He meets a man who is trying to sell straw hats, and he exchanges the cloth with the man's five hats. On the way back home in the snow, the old man spots six stone statues of Jizō looking cold. The kind old man covers their heads with five straw hats and his own scarf. He returns home with empty hands but his wife is happy for what he has done. During the night of New Year's Eve, the six Jizō reward the couple for the their unselfish generosity.

Six Jizo moving during the earthquake



On the morning after the strong earthquakes of March 11, felt here three times with a strength of about 6 within two hours, these six statues had changed their direction, from looking south, to about 90 degrees further toward the direction of the earthquake, toward Sakae-mura village 栄村.
The road and railway were disrupted and the 2000 villagers had to be evacuated.

The statues are about 70 cm high, made of stone.
The first Jizo, the leader, did not change his position, but the six others faced Sakae-Mura as if to protect the villagers from harm. And indeed, no casualities in the village.

Now they are venerated even more as protectors of the village.

Edo Roku Jizo 江戸六地蔵 The Six Jizō Bosatsu of Edo
Erected by priest 地蔵坊正元 Jizobo Shogen.



- quote -
The Six Seated Statues of Jizo were constructed at the six gateways of Edo (the old name of Tokyo) in 1706 by the order by Shogen Jizobo in Fukagawa Edo with much donations by thousands people in Edo. While Shogen had prayed for recovery his diseases, he became well, then he ordered to construct the Jizos like Kyoto Roku Jizos (the six Jizos in Kyoto).

The caster, Fujiwara Masayoshi of Ota Suruga-no-kami in Kandanabe-cho constructed them. Their heights are about 270cm. First , they were built with gold (The second Jizo in Tozen-ji Temple　was coated by Bengal), there are few marks on them. And there were some small seated statues of jizo and lists of the contributors in each Jizo. And also there are carved names on them and on their lotus pedestal, so the total of them were over 72,000.

Edo Roku Jizos stands in the six temples;
Shinagawa-ji in Shinagawa, Tozen-ji in Asakusa, Taiso-ji in Shinjyuku, Shinsho-ji in Sugamo, Reigan-ji in Shirakawa and Eitai-ji in Tomioka (The Jizo in Eitai-ji was stood near the second Torii in Tomioka Hchimangu, but Eitai-ji was ruined due to the anti-Buddhist movement in Meiji era 1868, so the Jizo was disappeared). Now the five Jizo of the six are designated by Tokyo Metropolitan Government as the tangible cultural properties.

- quote -
The Jizō monk Shōgen (正元 ), who lived in Fukagawa (深川 / ふかがわ), in today’s Kōtō district (江東区 / こうとうく), was plaqued by an incurable decease. But after he had prayed to a Jizō Bosatsu together with his parents in order to beseech healing, he was healed miraculously. Reason enough to see to it, that also Edo got what Kyōto already had: its “Six Jizō Bosatsu”. In 1706 Shōgen started to collect money for this purpose. He seems to have been rather successful with this task, as the statues were built in a very elaborate fashion and using costly material (copper).

In their original appearance they were even more gorgeous than today, as they were all gold plated. The caster Ōta Suruganokami Fujiwara Shōgi (太田駿河守藤原正儀 / おおたするがのかみふじわれらしょうぎ) (other sources speak of Ōta Suruganokami Masayoshi / 太田駿河守正義 / おおたするがのかみまさよし) in Kandanabe (神田鍋 / かんだなべ) in today’s Kanda district of Tōkyō (神田区 / かんだく) was commissioned. Within only 12 years six extraordinary copper statues were created. The first of which was already complete two years after Shōgen had started his fundraising. It goes without saying that also in those days people didn’t give money away in utter altruism. “Do good and be sure to make it known” … might have been the motto for some of the donors. In any case, all their names are incised in the statues. So, don’t be surprised if you find the Jizō covered by delicate inscriptions all over their surfaces.

The remaining statues of Jizō Bosatsu are all designated as cultural property of the city of Tōkyō, as they are rather lavish examples of copper statues (銅造地蔵菩薩坐像 / どうぞうじぞうぼさつざぞう) of the middle of the Edo era, and only very few other specimen of that kind exist dating back to those old days.

The temples housing the (originally) six statues were (and are still today) popular stations on a pilgrimage route through Edo, or Tōkyō respectively. So, let’s have a look at those six locations and their statues. And if you don’t visit them all in one long pilgrimage (and even without any religious ambition), take your time and have a look around in their neighbourhoods. I’ve included some hints you may tempt you to go further.

1st Jizō statue
The first of the six Jizō was erected in 1708 at the Honsen temple (品川寺 / ほんせんじ), a temple of the Daigo school of the Shingon Buddhism (真言宗醍醐派 / しんごんしゅうだいごは) in Minami Shinagawa (南品川 / みなみしながわ) in Tōkyō’s Shinagawa ward (品川区 / しながわく), just next to the old Tōkaidō highway(旧東海道 / きゅうとうかいどう).

2nd Jizō statue
Erected in 1710 at the Tōzen temple (東禅寺 / とうぜんじ), a temple of the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism (曹洞宗 / そうとうしゅう) in Higashi Asakusa (東浅草 / ひがしあさくさ) in Tōkyō’s Taitō ward (台東区 / たいとうく) close to the Ōshū-Kaidō highway (奥州街道 / おうしゅうかいどう), that was founded in 1624 . . .

3rd Jizō statue
Erected in 1712 at the Taisō temple (太宗寺 / たいそうじ), a temple of the Jōdo school (浄土宗 / じょうどしゅう) in Shinjuku (新宿 / しんじゅく) in Tōkyō’s Shinjuku ward (新宿区 / しんじゅくく) next to the Kōshū-Kaidō highway (甲州街道 / こうしゅうかいどう). In this statue “the printed book of the brief history of the erection of the statues of Edo Six Jizōson” was found, based on which the story of these statues is being told today.

Jizo and the Old Man
Once upon a time
there lived an old man and an old woman. The new year was just around the corner, so the old woman, with flaxen textiles she had woven by hand with heart and soul, said to the old man,
"The new year is coming closer. We'd better sell these textiles in Tadami and prepare for the new year. Would you go to Tadami to sell them?"
"All right," said the old man, and totteringly set out for Tadami in the rain, wearing a straw rain coat and a bamboo hat. In his hands were the textiles the old woman had woven.

Sanjugonichime no mairi 三十五日目の山参り

餓鬼達が握り飯で争う間に極楽へ行く話
昔、兵庫県淡路島の辺りでは亡くなった人が遠い極楽へ向かい何日も旅をすると思われていた。貧しい百姓の長助も働きづめだった父親を亡くしたばかりで深く悲しんでいたが、長助の叔父は極楽に着けば生きていた時よりも幸せに暮らせるだろうと長助を慰めた。

叔父に励まされ長助は安心して畑仕事に打ち込めるようになったが、ある夜長助の枕元に極楽に旅立ったはずの父親が現れる。父親は極楽への道を歩いていたのだが、歩き続けてから三十五日目頃にようやく極楽が見えたかと思うと、恐ろしい餓鬼(飢えと乾きに苦しむ亡者)達が食い物をせがみ襲ってくるので引き返してきたのだという。

極楽に辿り着くには餓鬼達の腹を満たすしかないと父親が言うので、早速長助は十三個の握り飯を作ったが霊となった父親にはこの世の物は渡せない。しかし父親が東山寺(とうざんじ)の裏山があの世とこの世に通じている事を思い出し、長助は大急ぎで東山寺に来ると閻魔堂に四つ、六地蔵に六つの握り飯を供え父親の無事を祈った。

そうして長助はいよいよ東山寺の裏山へ上ったが、ここが餓鬼達のいる難所に通じていると思うと恐ろしくなり、長助は後ろ向きになって残り三つの握り飯を坂へ転がした。三つの握り飯は長い坂を転がると、やがて餓鬼達の前に落ちてきた。すると餓鬼達が握り飯の奪い合いを始めたため、その隙に父親は餓鬼達の前を通り抜け無事極楽へ行く事ができたのであった。

長助がこの出来事を叔父に話すと、叔父もそれはぜひ村人達にも伝えるべきだと喜んだ。この事があってから淡路島では三十五日目の法要の際、親戚一同で寺にお参りした後持ってきた十三個の握り飯のうち四つは閻魔堂に、六つは六地蔵に、残った三つは紙に包んで東山寺の裏山から後ろ向きに転がし、振り返らずに帰る習わしとなった。この三つの握り飯を餓鬼達が追いかけているうちに、亡くなった人達は無事この難所を通り抜ける事ができると言われている。

Sechs Jizo-Statuen an Wegkreuzungen

Nach dem Tode gehen die Seelen der Menschen einen der sechs Wege (rokudoo) zu einem der sechs Existenzbereiche, in dem jeweils auch eine Kannon-Figur zu ihrer Errettung wartet: Welt der Götter (Wunscherfüllende Kannon), Welt der Menschen (Reineits-Kannon), Welt der Dämonen (Elfköpfige Kannon), Welt der Tiere (Pferdeköpfige Kannon), Welt der hungrigen Totengeister (Tausendarmige Kannon) und Welt der Höllenbewohner (Heilige Kannon). Die sechs Jizoos führen aus diesen sechs Bereichen zum Paradies. Besonders häufig in der Joodo-Sekte.

Häufig als sechs einzelne Steinfiguren mit roten Lätzchen und Mützchen an Wegkreuzungen oder am Eingang eines Friedhofes. Ganz selten sechs Figuren auf einem Stein, entweder je eine auf einem sechseckigen Stein oder auf drei Flächen jeweils zwei Figuren. Dabei unten die Reliefs der Jizoo-Statuen und oben eine Öffnung zum Einstellen einer Lampe, wie bei einer Steinlaterne (juusei rokumentoo) oder mit einer einfachen schirmförmigen Abdeckung (tansei rokumentoo).

Es gibt auch sechs Jizoo-Statuen in sechs verschiedenen Tempeln, z.B. in Kyooto an den ehemaligen sechs großen Verkehrswegen der Stadt während der Edo-Zeit.
Sehr selten als sechs Holzstatuen.

Die sechs Jizoo-Statuen nach Ashida:
Yotenga Welt der Götter (ten); Juwel.
Hookon Welt der Menschen (jin); langer Pilgerstab.
Kongoogan Welt der Hölle (jigoku); Banner der Hölle.
Kongoohoo Welt der Hungergeister (gaki); Juwel.
Kongootoo Welt der kämpfenden Dämonen (ashura); Banner der Hölle.
Kongoohi Welt der wilden Tiere (chikushoo); langer Pilgerstab.

Die sechs Jizoo-Statuen nach Tanaka:
Jizoo Bereich Linke Hand Rechte Hand
Daijoochihi Hölle langer Pilgerstab Juwel
Daitokuseijoo Geister Juwel Wunschgewährung
Daikoomyoo Tiere Juwel Wunscherfüllendes Juwel Seijoomuku Dämonen Juwel Sutraschatulle
Daiseijoo Menschen Juwel Fürchtet Euch nicht!
Daikengo Götter Juwel Sutrarolle

Nach einer anderen Version werden sie als Bosatsu bezeichnet:
Jizoo Bosatsu, Hooshuu Bosatsu, Hoosho Bosatsu, Hooinshu Bosatsu, Jichi Bosatsu und Kengoi Bosatsu.

Andere Versionen mit gefalteten Händen, Rosenkranz, Pilgerstab (mit zwei Köpfen (jintoojoo) oder mit einem Drachenkopf) und wunscherfüllendes Juwel, Baldachin, Räucherbecken oder einer Gebetsfahne kommen ebenfalls vor.
