  • Shikoku Pilgrimage
    SShhiikkookkuu PPiillggrriimmaaggee A Guide For Non-Japanese Copyright by Naoyuki Matsushita 2017 Translated and edited by David Turkington Cooperation: Tourism Tokushima All Rights Reserved Introduction Newly born babies are just a body, but as they live their lives and the years pile up, everything, from the necessary to the unnecessary, begins to adhere to them. Then when death comes, we are wrapped up in family, all of the possessions we leave behind, flowers, memories, … What about stopping here and throwing yourself with impartiality into all things; into pure nature, into the universe, into the simplicity of surrendering yourself to natural and spontaneous activity - just like plants and animals. The world of simplicity lies there. I wonder why. Even I don't understand. When walking in places like mountain trails in the evening, and even more so when it is raining, something rises in my throat, tears spontaneously fall from my eyes, and I'm overcome by sentimental feelings. In order to live a better life we should undertake the pilgrimage, and it is OK to do so alone. Pilgrimage is extraordinarily profound, but we have elusive general ideas about it. Yet even with the endless wondering to ourselves, loitering among the uncertainties that come and go, over and over again, there is a “you” that sets out on pilgrimage again. Thus, this sacred journey, where people seek a mental and emotional high ground, has no end. Being a human being means being a pilgrim. The purpose of this book is to alleviate the anxiety that non-Japanese pilgrims (who know little compared to Japanese pilgrims) might have about the weather, the history, and the many other aspects of the pilgrimage.
