Tokyo.
A crow pauses among rows of Jizō statues, guardians in Japanese Buddhist tradition believed to watch over the souls of children who died before their parents.
Families dress them in red hats and bibs as gestures of protection, warmth, and remembrance.
Pinwheels spin in the breeze — small symbols of childhood and continuing care.
