What is the jizo in the main courtyard for?
In "Bowser's Kingdom" in Super Mario Odyssey, there are a few puzzles that involve capturing jizo statues and maneuvering them into different positions.
However, there's also a jizo in the Main Courtyard, behind the small building to the right of the arrival point (just before the two circles where the Broodal fights happened).
What's the purpose of this one? I haven't found anything I can use it for, and it can't move very far before running into an obstacle it can't jump over.

What are Jizo statues?
Jizo (\u5730\u8535/womb of the earth), as they are called, are made in the image of Jizo Bosatsu, guardian deity of children and travellers. They're also known as the 'earth bearer', so jizo statues are made out of stone, which is said to have a spiritual power for protection and longevity that predates Buddhist beliefs.How do you capture Jizo?
Inside is a area with multiple paths and P-Switches that must be pressed with Jizo statues. Capture the nearest Jizo, then head backwards toward the entrance where you will notice a P-Switch on a platform behind the door. Leave the Jizo on the P-Switch and an alcove will appear with a Power Moon inside.Super Mario Odyssey - Part 36 - Main Courtyard
