The name of these little statues are "jizo", and at this particular temple
the jizo statues are made as offerings to appease the gods after a
miscarriage. Some of the jizo statues are dressed in clothes which is
particularily sad. I think the statues are really cute, and it is too bad
that there is such a sad story behind them.
