I saw some Dosojin on the roadside around Shiman Onsen. Dosojin is the guardian deity of the village, and is often enshrined at the border of the village and the three-way intersection. It is also worshiped as a god of traffic safety. There were also Dosojin with different facial expressions.

Dosojin who feels power

Original Text

There are quite a few Dosojin here and there in Gunma Prefecture. The area around Nakanojo Town is also an area with many Dosojin, but the Dosojin near the 40,000 pit is a little strange. The roots of a large tree cover the whole large rock, and trees stand on it. There are no carvings of Jizo on the rock.

Dosojin scattered everywhere

Original Text

I feel the history of this area in the past, when I went to Kusatsu Onsen to work, burn charcoal, and move to sericulture, I would have prayed to the Dosojin in Michi 々 so that I could finish my work safely and come back. In addition, it seems that there are some works recently that local hobbies carve stones and are placed as modern Dosojin. It's a relieved figure.
