Therefore, those who offer offerings will gain prosperity in this life and be reborn in paradise in the next life. Jizo worship began in the Tang dynasty and in Japan during the Heian period. Most Jizo statues are depicted in the form of a monk, holding a jewel in his left hand and a shakujo in his right hand. Since the Kamakura period, they have been incorporated into folk beliefs and are familiar as Koyasu Jizo, Kosodate Jizo, Mizuko Jizo, and Roku Jizo.
