  • Seven Weeks on the Henro Michi Steps Along the Shikoku Island 88 Temple Pilgrimage Marc Pearl
    Seven Weeks on the Henro Michi Steps along the Shikoku Island 88 Temple Pilgrimage Marc Pearl The Settai Offering (Temples #7- #11) The Settai Offering is a fundamental aspect of the Henro Pilgrim experience. Offerings and services of all kinds are given to the Pilgrim as he makes his way along the island paths. Meals, snacks and cups of tea, items necessary to the Henro such as incense sticks and candles and coins, as well as places to spend the night, are donated by the kind people of Shikoku. Although the Henro is a stranger traveling but briefly through the neighborhood, he is greeted as a friend, and invited to sit on the veranda or inside the front genkan entrance, leaving the hot sun and dusty road for some moments to relax and share a few words. During my second day of walking, between Temples #7 and #8, I got caught in a gentle sunshower, so I stood under the eaves of a house alongside the road. From the open doorway of the genkan, a grandmother motioned me inside. We sat quietly and drank green tea and nibbled some crackers while we watched the rain and talked about the Pilgrimage. In Spring and Summer there are a lot of chartered buses whizzing by her door, she told me. In the fall, it was calmer. She doesn’t see very many walking pilgrims nowadays, not like the old days after the war when, for a lack of jobs or anything else to do, many people would do the Pilgrimage, before they had cars or those fancy taxis and buses.
