Kofuku Jizo Bosatsu is a form of Jizo Bosatsu (Kshitigarbha), a widely venerated bodhisattva in Japanese Buddhism known for compassion toward the suffering and protection of travelers, children, and the departed. The epithet "Kofuku" (good fortune/happiness) reflects a localized devotional association with wealth and well-being, a common practice of linking Jizo statues to specific hoped-for blessings at temples and roadside shrines. As with many Jizo variants, the wealth-related connection stems from popular devotion and local tradition rather than a fixed doctrinal role.
