4 Small Stone Buddhas in Arashiyama? 2013/3/23 06:31
Hello!
I was in Kyoto last year and saw 4 small stone Buddhas in Arashiyama. I snapped a picture but I'm still not sure 100% of where there were, other than in Arashiyama.

That's a picture of them.
Does anybody have any information on them?

Thank you very much!

There are around Tenryu-ji temple in Arashiyama.
And they are called "Nakayoshi Jizo"(friendly guardians deity of children?).

Also I had seen the Kawaii Jizos like this in Kamakura.
