Hi, Natasha. Are you asking about JIZO atatues? http://www.google.co.jp/images?&hl=en&q=jizo

うーん、ちょっと意味がよくわからないのですが、それは、歴史の本やWebsiteで読んだことですか？もしできたら、その本にどう書いてあったか教えてください。 Sorry, but I don't quite get what are you talking about. Did you read it in some history book or website? If possible, could you tell us what exactly the source book/website says? Then we might be able to figure out the answer.
