EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beloved figure of Jizo, the children's god, as depicted in The Book of Myths. Created by artist Evelyn Paul, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Jizo's benevolence and protective nature. Jizo is a bodhisattva who has taken on the responsibility to guide and instruct all beings in the six worlds. In this illustration, he stands tall with an aura of holiness surrounding him. His gentle gaze exudes compassion and his outstretched arms symbolize his readiness to embrace and protect all children. The image portrays several babies and children gathered around Jizo, seeking solace in his presence. As a protector deity, Jizo offers comfort to those facing hardships or uncertainties. This depiction highlights the deep connection between Jizo and young souls, emphasizing his role as their guardian throughout their journey. The Japanese influence is evident in this artwork through its portrayal of traditional Asian aesthetics. The attention to detail brings forth a sense of serenity while capturing the spiritual significance that Jizo holds within Buddhist beliefs. Dating back to the 19th century but still resonating today, this print serves as a timeless reminder of faith, hope, and protection for both children and adults alike. It is truly a testament to Evelyn Paul's artistic talent and her ability to convey profound emotions through her work.
