Namu Jizo Daibosatsu 南無地蔵大菩薩

in Yonago Temple Town

In every temple was a group like this one or at least one or more stone steles with this inscription, an invocation of Jizo, who cares for the afterlife of children.
Here they are in respect for the earthquake victims of 2001.


オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
on kakaka bisanmaei sowaka

on - offering a prayer
ka - holy sylable for Jizo, repeated three times
bisanmaei - a very rare and special thing
sowaka - may all things be at peace !
