Notes

Figure 4 in Fujii 2021 (藤井達矢); image source: Ōkubo/Kojima 2008 『木喰 庶民信仰の微笑仏』東方出版 p.43. Exceptional: child figure holds a gourd (瓢箪) rather than a jewel — noted by Fujii as the only Koyasu figure without a hōju.

よろずよの

Praying to the gods / of ten thousand ages — / may the Buddhas I carve / remain in this world.

いくたびも

Again and again / I set the chisel and pray — / within the thousand: / the Buddha guiding.

Though I carve and carve, / still the image remains — / the face of the Buddha / lingering in the heart.
