When I visited Taichoji Temple in early October last year, I found fascinating jizo statues there. I call this temple, 'A Jizo Paradise', and when it snowed in early January this year, I revisited the temple to see my favorite jizo covered in snow. Especially, I wanted to see the jizo statues in the 'Jizo Cemetery' where broken jizo statues are casually abandoned. It's located at the foot of a bamboo grove and I thought it would look so beautiful in snow. There, I found it, a snow-buried jizo cemetery with a beautiful bamboo grove in the background! The other statues were all there too, sitting silently in the temple grounds covered in white snow. Wonderful!

The Jizo cemetery is located at the foot of a bamboo grove

Six jizo statues at the entrance of Taichoji Temple. Notice the mountain of snow in front of it!

Other jizo statues beside the pathway to the temple

Due to the snow, I couldn't get closer to these statues, so I used the zoom lens to take this photo.

Especially, I love this jizo statue standing silently in the cemetery!
