RE: The meaning of Buddha statues with red bibs and night walk at Okunoin cemetery

It is a thing of joy to learn about other culture or religion. I never knew Jizo Bodhisattva was really different Buddha. Some little things can have a lot of meaning, talking about the red bibs.
Thanks for sharing knowledge with us

Yes indeed, I find it fascinating as well!
The red bibs have this signification only on Jizo statues. Well, it is true that it became so popular that we can find other Buddha with red bibs but for the foxes at Inari shrines the meaning is different, it is more to ward off evil.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
