Kirisuto Ishizo, Japanese Stone Christian Statue of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Item description - YO07010209
Kirisuto Ishizo, Japanese Stone Christian Statue of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - Sometimes we encounter some very peculiar items when searching for traditional Japanese garden items. Take this Christian stone statue for example, known in Japanese as a Kirisuto Ishizo (キリスト石像). It depicts Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus after his birth.
Compared to Buddhism and Shintoism, Christianity is a minority religion in Japan. Nevertheless it certainly does exist. During the Edo period Christianity was seen as a religion from overseas and thereby strictly forbidden. After the fall of the Shogunate and the start of the Meiji period Christianity was re-introduced to the people, and currently there are around 1.9 million Christians living in Japan.
