Ninth day in Japan

At this shrine there were many baby Jizos	The shrine is for unborn (a.k.a. aborted) children.
Jizo represents the protector of children	Parents who have lost children this way come to this temple.
This is Kitamoko Kannon, a sister temple to Zenkoji in Nagano. The two temples face one another but are separated by many miles and mountains	This interesting tree at Kitamoko Kannon represents a Japanese love story.
