Description

Antique Stone Jizō Guardian — Hand-Carved Granite, c. 1800, Late Edo Era

Silent prayers etched in moss and moonlight

For more than two centuries this small Jizō stood roadside, sheltering travelers and children with serene compassion. Time and weather have softened his robes and features, while emerald moss paints his form in living brushstrokes. Kanji invocations—still faintly legible—whisper hopes for safe journeys and rebirth, binding you to a lineage of faith that predates photography and steamships.

Bring the piece to a garden path, alcove, or zazen corner and feel its quiet gravity. The granite’s earthy weight grounds modern life; the gentle face, though worn, radiates an unbroken promise of benevolence.

  • Origin: Japan

  • Era: Late Edo period, c. 1800

  • Material: Weathered granite with natural lichen and moss

  • Use: Garden focal point, contemplative indoor sculpture, or ancestral altar

  • Features: Standing Jizō figure within flame-shaped halo, incised sutra characters, organic moss patina

  • Dimensions: 8"W x 5"D x 15"H

  • Condition: Structurally solid; surface erosion, moss, and a slender base fissure reflect authentic age

In its hushed expression you may hear the echo of pilgrims’ footsteps, still seeking warmth in the lantern glow of kindness.
