Oboko Ikezu Jizo(おぼこいけず地蔵)


When i was walking a shopping mall in Oike(御池), I found two cute stone statue of Jizo(お地蔵さん).
It's called "Oboko Ikezu Jizo(おぼこいけず地蔵)".

Oboko Ikezu Jizo??

I think everyone doesn't know this meaning.
Oboko(おぼこ)is cute and intelligent children, Ikezu(いけず)is ill-natured in Kansai dialect(関西弁).

If you touch these Jizo from right Jizo(Ikezu Jizo) to left Jizo(Oboko Jizo), you will get wiser and your ersonality will be better.

Of course it is a superstition.
But If you believe, it's going to be true.

Actually, i touched them more than 5 times. So i must be getting wiser. hahaha.............

If you would like to be like me, touch them!!
But don't make a mistake about the order (right Jizo to left Jizo)
Otherwise you will be.................
