(2.2cm tall) Here is a sweet little Shinto Jizo pocket talisman of gentle summer days and warm breezes. It feels calm and contented, like the perfect afternoon. This little one would be lovely for a kamidana or shrine or just as a friend to remind you that it's ok to rest and enjoy the day sometimes.
Jizo has been fired once, glazed with non-toxic glaze, and raku fired with natural wood shavings for the amazing gifts of smoke and flame. Pocket Jizo are robust enough to go and and about with you, just not in the same pocket as keys or coins.
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 only non-toxic materials.
