(4.5cm tall) This little Jizo is a very happy friend who just wants to being some gentle joy and comfort into the world. It feels very like a little hug when you need one.
This Jizo made of stoneware clay, fired once, glazed in non-toxic glaze, and then raku fired for the beautiful effects of smoke and flame.
Jizo is a Japanese Shinto spirit, a kami who found his way to Japan through Buddhism. He is a guardian of women, children, and travellers; he comforts us through grief and bereavement.
Through my work, I hope to bring a little nature, peace, and gentleness into the world. I make all of my pieces entirely by hand with natural materials.
