(4.8cm tall) We need warmth on this planet. And we need fire. But we need both, like everything else, in balance. This Jizo is here to help bring balance back to the world, to calm the heat and flames and helps us all remember that enough is plenty. That we don't need excess in our lives or in the climate. We just need to live in peace.
This Jizo made of stoneware clay, fired once, glazed in non-toxic glaze, and then raku fired for the beautiful effects of smoke and flame.
Jizo is a Japanese Shinto spirit, a kami who found his way to Japan through Buddhism. He is a guardian of women, children, and travellers; he comforts us through grief and bereavement.
Through my work, I hope to bring a little nature, peace, and gentleness into the world. I make all of my pieces entirely by hand with natural materials.
