Kshitigarba Jizo is a <a href="//encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Bodhisattva">Bodhisattva</a>, or "Buddha-to-be." Among Japanese Buddhists, he is known for helping children, women in labor, and the wicked. He is also believed to participate in ushering in the souls of the faithful when they die.

Shrines in his honor are set up along roadsides, since he protects travelers as well.</span> <a href="//encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Jizo+Ennichi">More...</a> <a
