JIZO & NON MELTING ICE-CREAM

On location for the TV Aichi show Sanji No Tsubo, with partner Kaino Yuka. She's eating a melt proof ice-cream...we tested it by walking around the city for a few hours, and it DIDN'T melt!!
Why? Well, you'll have to watch TV Aichi to find out! After that, we went looking for jizo, the small stone deities that can be found across Japan and are supposed to look after people, children in particular...

One temple was home to this Jizo sitting in a boat, this was supposed to bring closure to those who had died in boating and water mishaps...
At yet another temple was this listening Jizo. A small stone seat in front of this larger than usual Jizo affords people with problems a place to sit down and have a good old grizzle, and the jizo will lend an ear. Won't give much advice, but he's there to let off steam. Watch TV Aichi's Sanji No Tsubo every Tuesday from 3pm!
