In Tokyo, there's a unique statue called Shibarare Jizoson, which has a peculiar connection to wishes and protection.
According to a story from centuries ago, a tailor's apprentice lost some fabric, and people blamed the Jizō statue for not doing anything.
The statue was then tied up, but it became a symbol of good fortune, and people started tying ropes to it, hoping their wishes would be granted.
Today, the statue is still a popular place for people to make wishes and believe in the power of the tied-up Jizō.
