The Jizō remembrance coin

Both sides of the Jizō coin: a smiling face with the words I will guide you, and a path that winds towards the sun.
Jizō coin by Monumentalista

Losing your baby is something you cannot forget. It shapes who you are and who you will become. The Jizō remembrance coin is a symbol you can hold for that important moment.

Jizō is the protector of babies lost in miscarriage, of stillborn babies and of those lost through abortion. In the centuries-old Japanese story, Jizō takes care of these little souls and brings them to paradise.

Jizō is also known as the protector of pilgrims and travellers. When you stand at a crossroads in your life, Jizō helps you choose the right way.

Carry the coin with you as a reminder that you can face the future with confidence.
