“Travel buddy.” Jizō, Guardian of the Six Realms.
Jizō, the bodhisattva known in India as Kṣitigarbha, vowed to help beings in every realm until all are free. In Japan he is a familiar friend: a gentle monk with a shaved head who stands by roadsides and temple gates, watching over travelers and children. He carries a ringed staff and a wish-granting jewel, and people tie red bibs and caps on his statues to keep him warm as he keeps watch.
The design and its line printed in a single ink on a heavyweight garment-dyed Comfort Colors tee in soft, lived-in colours: gold on the deep dyes, warm ink on the pale ones.
From The Deity Project, a living encyclopedia of the sacred.
Three ways to wear it: the classic tee is soft and lightweight ($29); the garment-dyed tee is heavier, with a softly faded, lived-in colour ($36); the garment-dyed one-ink tee prints the design and its line in a single ink, in soft earthy colours ($34).
