Green Buddha and Faceless Buddha

I love how many old Buddhist statues in Japan become weathered or moss covered. It really adds to the character of the old statues.  Below are two statues, possibly Jizo Bodhisattva's, from a temple in Otawara, Tochigi-ken. My favorite is the moss covered green Jizo.
