Please note that these are truly Mini Jizos!! Designed to fit almost anywhere a little of the protective energy of the JIzo is needed! Each Jizo is just over 2" tall!!

I have been drawn to the meaning of the Jizo statues since I first encountered them through the Pacific Northwest Zen monastery that is named after Jizo's vow. Jizo, is the Buddhist protector of children, women and travelers in the six realms of existence. It is an appropriate votive for anyone who has suffered a loss or who is at a crossroads in their life.

I feel in tune with the essence of the Jizo through the identification as a traveler. And while that can be viewed in the most traditional sense of our world, I also think of it as anyone who is moving through their life with open eyes and an open heart. Navigating the difficulties that arise in life is a very arduous, but necessary, part of our growth. I have called on the essence of Jizo to watch over myself and others as those difficulties arise.

Jizo is most often associated with watching over the spirits of children who have passed from our world and mothers in childbirth.

This Miniature Jizo is hand formed with no molds and is made of premium polymer clay. It is then sanded and painted with acrylic paints to give the appearance of the stone finish. This Jizo is presented holding a lotus blossom in its cupped hands that features a Swarovski crystal chaton center. The colors available for the center are now:

Aquamarine Blue
Peridot Green
Antique Pink
Amethyst Purple
Champagne Peach
Aurora Borealis
Ruby Red
Forest Green
Sapphire Blue
Clear Crystal

Please specify at time of ordering if you have a preference!

We also offer Onegai Jizos which feature a red hat and bib in a white stone finish. In modern Japan, a red hat, bib, and toys are still often found on Jizō statues, the gifts of a rejoicing parent whose child has been cured of dangerous sickness thanks to Jizō's intervention, or a gift to help the deceased child in the afterlife.

The Miniature Jizo comes gift boxed and with a description of it's meaning and history.

The Miniature Jizos pictured measure 2" high, 1 3/4" wide and 1 1/4 inches deep.

¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨ Jizo Bodhisattva ¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨

A Bodhisattva is an archetypal being dedicated to helping others, and embodying specific spiritual qualities. Jizo is known for making a vow to be present with, and benefit to, all suffering beings in all realms, and to continuously benefit others.

Jizo's qualities include unending optimism, courage, and a gentle nature. Jizo also bears a nurturing love for all beings. Jizo is always called upon in any situation to help those in need.

Jizo is especially concerned with taking care of those who are vulnerable, and most well known may be the facet of Jizo helping children who've died face the transition between life and death.

In Japan, and now the USA, Jizo has a special meaning and blessing for women who have lost children. Jizo is also called upon for travelers at important life crossroads who may be facing great challenges ahead of them.

There is a short chant associated with Jizo, which invokes the energy of Jizo, and may help dispel distressing, repetitive thoughts.

Om - Ka - Ka - Kabi - San - Ma - E - Sowa - Ka

The chant should be recited in even steady beats with no break between the repetitions.

We create most stand alone houses/towers in either HO or N scales. These are model railroad scales. Here is a breakdown using dollhouse scale as reference.

Dollhouse scale is 1:12 meaning for every actual foot, the dollhouse piece measures 1" inch (or 1/12 the actual size) So a 6 ft tall human is 6” tall in dollhouse scale.

HO scale is 1:87 So, 87 feet in real life = one foot in HO scale. The six foot person in this HO scale is just 3/4” tall!

N scale is 1:148. So,148 feet in real life = one foot in N scale. The 6 foot tall person rendered in N scale is just under 1/2” tall! To give a grander idea, a city block could fit in one foot at N scale.

The key is that if you’re collecting these houses, they should be of similar scale!

We accept requests for custom orders all year around.

We usually cannot guarantee a completion date if the piece is something new to us.

We take great pride in completing thing in as timely a manner as possible but custom pieces require us to fit them in around our other commitments so we do not guarantee dates for their completion.

We DO offer a general idea of how long it may take but that is a ballpark at best. :)

Thank you!

Our houses and figurines will not fade in sunlight or degrade indoors under most all conditions.

The landscaping materials that we use are NOT made for exposure to the elements. We can often recreate something that like with a nod to it being an outdoor piece but please bear in mind that the exposure to rain, heat and cold WILL effect the pieces in some manner over time.

It is best to keep these little pieces of the realm of faerie in a stable environment and they can be wiped or dusted lightly as needed!

All of our pieces are packaged in a gift box with some combination of raffia ribbon, tissue, pine cones, fairy tag and more.

All of our fairy houses/pieces come with a Fairy Invocation and an inspirational message from the Fairies themselves.

Almost all of our pieces come with a handmade fold-out booklet that tells the story of the particular piece you have purchased.

Taoist stones and our Jizos come with their own special inserts.

We do not currently offer gift wrapping but we DO offer gift messages to be included with any purchase. Just let un know in the message to seller what the gift note should say.

Thank you!

I am beyond overjoyed with our new family members. Bewilder and Pine, never cease to amaze me with their thoughtful detail and extraordinary creativity. Each piece has a backstory and purpose. I’m excited to be able to pass these on to my children one day! Just beautiful!

This was even more darling in person and arrived promptly! The care in the packaging was remarkable. I loved my little note card explaining the history of the Jizo and the handwritten card was a beautiful touch. I would purchase again! Love this seller.
