In Tokyo, Japan, there's a strange statue called Shibarare Jizoson, believed to grant wishes to those who tie it with a rope.
The legend behind it involves a tailor's apprentice, a stolen fabric, a Jizō statue, and a curious case that led to the statue being tied up.
Locals believe that tying the rope onto the statue will grant their wishes and protect them from harm.
Today, the tradition continues with people coming to the statue to tie ropes and make wishes, hoping for good fortune and protection.
