  • Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples of Shikoku Island: a Bibliography of Resources in English
    Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples of Shikoku Island: A Bibliography of Resources in English Naomi Zimmer LIS 705, Fall 2005 The most widely known work in English about the Shikoku pilgrimage is undoubtedly Oliver Statler’s 1983 book Japanese Pilgrimage , which combines a personal account of Statler’s pilgrimage in Shikoku with substantial background and cultural information on the topic. The University of Hawaii’s Hamilton Library Japan Collection houses Statler’s personal papers in the Oliver Statler Collection , which includes several boxes of material related to the Shikoku pilgrimage. The Oliver Statler Collection is an unparalleled and one of a kind source of information in English on the Shikoku pilgrimage. The contents range from Statler’s detailed notes on each of the 88 temples to the original manuscript of Japanese Pilgrimage . Also included in the collection are several hand-written translations of previous works on the pilgrimage that were originally published in Japanese or languages other than English. The Oliver Statler Collection may be the only existing English translations of many of these works, as they were never published in English. The Collection also contains several photo albums documenting Statler’s pilgrimages on Shikoku taken between 1968 and 1979. A Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples in Shikoku Island (1973) is likely the earliest example of an English-language monograph on the specific topic of the Shikoku pilgrimage. This book, written by the Japanese author Mayumi Banzai, focuses on the legendary priest Kobo Daishi (774-835 A.D.) and the details of his association with the Shikoku pilgrimage. The books A Henro Pilgrimage Guide to the Eighty-eight Temples on Shikoku, Japan (Taisen Miyata), Echoes of Incense: a Pilgrimage in Japan (Don Weiss), The Traveler's Guide to Japanese Pilgrimages (Ed Readicker-Henderson), and Tales of a Summer Henro (Craig McLachlan) are all more recent personal accounts offering a less scholarly and more practical “guidebook” look at the pilgrimage.

    Best of Shikoku and Kyushu Self Guided 15 Day/14 Nights Best of Shikoku and Kyushu Self Guided Tour Overview Experience more of Shikoku and Kyushu on the Best of Shikoku and Kyushu Self Guided tour. With its mild climate, tranquil gardens, famous hot springs, active volcanoes, historic castles, beautiful countryside, and warm-hearted people, this part of Japan offers a dramatic experience that will create travel memories for a lifetime. Destinations Osaka , Tokushima, Megijima, Takamatsu, Konpira, Kochi, Matsuyama, Dogo Onsen, Beppu, Usuki, Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Yoshinoharikoen Tour Details The rural mountainous island of Shikoku is the smallest of the four major islands of Japan, and is also the one least visited by foreigners. However, this tranquil island offers elements of traditional Japan that are hard to find elsewhere. For more than 1,000 years, Shikoku has been the focus of “henro” (pilgrims) following in the footsteps of Kobo Daishi (the 9th century Buddhist monk who helped change Japanese religion forever) in their ever-elusive search for enlightenment. Kyushu, the third largest and southern-most island of Japan, was at one time the most important gateway into Japan for foreigners. But at the same time, according to Japanese legend, it was from Kyushu that the first emperor, Kimmu, began his campaign to unify Japan. Kyushu is therefore considered to be the cradle of Japanese civilization. You will follow in the footsteps of Kobo Daishi, the 9th century Buddhist monk, and visit numerous important religious centers in Japan including Konpira Shrine, a favorite destination of pilgrims for hundreds of years. Bathe in some of Japan’s oldest, most famous and most popular onsens.

  • Shikoku Henro Trail
    SHIKOKU HENRO A study of Japanese and western pilgrims on the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Sacred Places Pilgrimage A dissertation prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MA in Japanese Language and Society (by Distance Learning) Fiona MacGregor Faculty of Social Studies School of East Asian Studies The University of Sheffield January 2002 Abstract This is a comparative study of Japanese and western pilgrims who performed the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Sacred Places Pilgrimage, on the island of Shikoku, in western Japan. The data was collected in the field on a four-page, thirty-five point questionnaire by two sociologists from Tokyo’s Waseda University in 1996, and on a two-page, ten-point questionnaire by myself in 2000 and early 2001. The western pilgrims were contacted by e-mail and asked the basic questions from my survey; they responded during the summer of 2001. Some significant differences between the Japanese and western pilgrims were found, both in the age of the pilgrims, as well as in the motives, attitudes, experiences and performance methods of both groups. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that these differences are due to the different concepts of pilgrimage in both cultures, as well as to the different attitudes to religion and the idea of the sacred in Japan and the west. Contents Acknowledgements i Introduction 1 Chapter One: The Shikoku Pilgrimage 6 Chapter Two: The Pilgrims 16 Chapter Three: Pilgrim Voices – Motives and impressions 23 Chapter Four: Performing the Pilgrimage – ‘Communitas’ and conflict 37 Conclusion 51 Bibliography 56 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have come to fruition without a lot of help.
