Japanese term or phrase: 酒買地蔵
Dear ProZ members,

a quick question about the 酒買地蔵 in Zaimoku-cho who's supposed to propitiate business. I've gathered some infos, but I'm still missing a detail I need.

Does its name mean that the Jizou buys the sake in first person or that he motivates people to buy sake?

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Yes, you never know what you stumble upon when translating! The common fact is that each issue shows how little I know about certain things (and how little I can use Google, in this case...).

Thank you again!
