The final post on some of the multitude of statues at Nanzoin temple in Sasaguri, Fukuoka. here is a nice tableau of the shichifukujin, the seven Lucky Gods.
In every nook and cranny there are tiny Jizo statues....
These seem to be a Buddhist Jizo version of the 7 lucky gods.....
yet more Jizo.......
Sakimori were various forms of frontier guardians, and this curious statue is a memorial to police, sdf, coast guard and firefighters....
