Making Pilgrimages: Meaning and Practice in Shikoku New edition
Ian Reader
This study involves a 1400-kilometer-long pilgrimage around Japan's 4th largest island, Shikoku. In traveling the circuit of 88 Buddhist temples, pilgrims make their journey together with Kobo Daishi (774-835), the holy miracle-working figure at the heart of the pilgrimage. Ian Reader examines contemporary practices and beliefs of the pilgrimage.
