"Jizo Juo-kyo Sutra" includes many elements which suggest this sutra was composed in Japan, for example, the appearance of the Sanzu-no-kawa River (river, the dead cross) and Datsueba (witch staying Sanzu-no-kawa River to rob the dead of their clothes), the description of a bird twittering '別都頓宜寿' (Hototogisu) and Japanese-tasted sentences.
『地蔵十王経』中には、三途の川や脱衣婆が登場し、「別都頓宜寿（ほととぎす）」と鳴く鳥が描写され、文章も和習をおびるなど、日本で撰せられたことをうかがわせる面が多分にある。
