介绍（中）	在镰仓时期，随着对吉子的崇敬和对他的依赖越来越普遍，他被描绘成一个降下来帮助苦难并引导他们走向天堂的人物。源于阿米达佛（Amida Buddha）在众多菩萨（通常包括Jizō）的陪伴下降下来迎接一位垂死的信徒的肖像，JizĴraigō;描绘了他站在一个行走的姿势，这是通过这双脚在云上的位置来强调的，云在他穿越存在六界时一直在后面。他的僧袍上装饰着精美的精金图案。他带着许愿的珠宝和金色的沙库吉，或者带着六枚叮当响的戒指来宣布他的到来。现在几乎看不见了，他的光环周围曾经出现了两条金色的射线，这增强了向信徒承诺的愿景中的华丽效果。
介绍（英）	As veneration of Jizō and reliance on him became widespread during the Kamakura period, he came to be depicted as a single figure descending to aid the suffering and to guide them to paradise. Derived from the raigō images of Amida Buddha descending to welcome a dying believer in the company of this many bodhisattvas, which usually included Jizō, the single-image Jizō raigō portrays him standing in a walking posture, emphasized by the postition of this feet on double lotus pedestals atop a cloud that trails behind as he traverses the Six Realms of Existence. His monk's robe is beautifully decorated with intricate patterns of cut gold. He carries the wish-granting jewel and the golden shakujō, or staff with six jangling rings to announce his arrival. Now barely visible, double lines of gold rays once fanned out around his halo, heightening the gorgeous effect that was part of the vision promised to believers.
