In Japan, as Esoteric Buddhism spread, people learnt Kariteimo-ho (a method for following Kariteimo [Kishimojin]) holding Kishimojin as the main deity for children's good health and happiness, and court nobles of the upper class not only learnt Kariteimo-ho but also enshrined the statues of Kariteimo for easy birth.
日本でも密教の盛行に伴い、小児の息災や福徳を求めて、鬼子母神を本尊とする訶梨帝母法が修せられたり、上層貴族の間では、安産を願って訶梨帝母像を祀り、訶梨帝母法を修している。
