In the heart of Tokyo, in the garden of a Buddhist temple Zojoji,
there is a unique cemetery in the world - cemetery of unborn children.
Mothers, actually women who miscarried their children
set in a specific place a small stone figure
called, according to the religious vocabulary, Jizo.
Jizo is a votive deity, holy person
which may, if so,
lead a man to the Buddha.
In mid-September 1988
the cemetery was
over 20 million Jizo's.
