In coastal areas, fishermen and swimmers also look to Jizo, one of the Buddhist deities in Japan for protection. In response to numerous drownings, Jizo statues were erected near dangerous fishing and swimming sites. This book tells the story of a group of men who raised these statues as a service to their communities.
