Japan & the Far East
Jizo: Guardian among the Mountains
A haloed figure in orange, blue and green robes stands above small surrounding figures among clouds and rocky slopes. Golden rays spread from the head, while the long robe gives the body a calm vertical presence. The source identifies Jizo. Evelyn Paul sets the figure within a living mountain landscape, using the dense colour of the garments to distinguish it from the softer surrounding forms.
