338 ~ Another Jizou of Joudoji

Located literally right next to the previous Jizou, there's the one other Jizou with foxes that I encountered during my travels in Japan. This one features only three tiny porcelain foxes, but that's still three more than at any other Jizou I've encountered. This unusual prevalence of foxes at Jizou might be due to the nearby Silver Fox Inari Shrine - still a side shrine of Joudoji - that I'll cover next.
