Japanstones.shop ships Japanese stone products to customers around the world. For this shipment, we sent a Mini Jizo Statue, a small Japanese Buddhist stone figure, from Japan to Germany using DHL international air service.
This Mini Jizo Statue is a 2026 model made from Aji Stone, a Japanese granite.
The rounded head, face, hands, and body are carved into a compact three-dimensional form. To protect these details during international transportation, we wrapped the entire statue before placing it inside the shipping box.

Shipping an Aji Stone Mini Jizo Statue to Germany by DHL
This Mini Jizo is a compact stone figure with three-dimensional details around the head, face, hands, and body.
To protect the stone surface and carved form, we wrapped the entire statue with bubble wrap and secured it with packing tape before placing it inside the cardboard shipping box.
The bubble wrap was fitted around the shape of the statue to help reduce direct contact with the outer box and limit movement during transportation.

Packing for the Three-Dimensional Shape of the Mini Jizo
Unlike a flat stone product, the Mini Jizo has a three-dimensional form with carved areas around the head, face, hands, and body. For this reason, bubble wrap was placed around the entire statue to protect the granite surface and carved details.
The wrapped statue was placed inside the cardboard box in a way that reduced direct contact with the outer packaging during transportation.
The bottom of the cardboard box was reinforced with hot glue to help prevent it from opening under the weight of the stone product.
