manga jizoo マンガ地蔵 Manga Jizo statue
- quote -
Jizo is regarded as the protector of children. However, the Jizo at Kongo-in, a lovely temple located one stop away from Ikebukuro Station in Toshima Ward, is looking out for a different group of people.
Who? When you go to visit, pay close attention to this little guy. His wardrobe gives you important clues. His staff has been replaced with a fountain pen and his robes are decorated with comic book panels complete with speech bubbles and sound effects. Fans of the game Dragon Quest might look at the smiling blob in in his left hand and think of the character Slime, but it’s actually a cheerful version of Jizo’s wish-filling jewel. Lastly, rather than a halo of light, Jizo is ensconced by a pen nib.
... Manga Jizo, offering protection and spiritual guidance for all aspiring artists as well as anyone who works in a creative field.
But why does Kongo-in have a manga Jizo?
Despite Akihabara’s high name recognition as the center of otaku subculture, Toshima Ward is considered the origin of Japanese manga. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, some of Japan’s most famous manga artists such as Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy, and Fujiko Fujio, creator of Doraemon, lived in the same apartment building: the Tokiwa-so. While then young and unknown, these artists shaped the way in which manga is produced during the time they lived in Tokiwa-so. Considering that Kongo-in is located near the site of Tokiwa-so, it’s an appropriate spot for the home of the manga Jizo.
The manga Jizo is a nadebutsu,
meaning you are encouraged to touch him for good luck. Give his head a pat to get your creative juices flowing!

The main statue is 千手観世音菩薩 Kannon with 1000 Arms. It is a secret statue and only shown once in five years.
The 御前立 maedachi statue in front of it is also secret and only shown once a year.
The origin of this temple is not clear.
The temple was first located in Edo, 八丁堀 Hatchobori in 1635, then moved to 三田寺町 the temple town of Mita ward around 1680,
In 1987 the land was sold and the temple relocated to Hadano.
Many temples on the Gofunai pilgrimage have moved here and there, but this is the most far-away relocation.

There is no statue of Kobo Daishi, but a stone memorial with his name, 弘法大師塔.
