Notes: #11 (Fujii-dera (藤井寺)): No. 11 on the Shikoku pilgrimage. Taking its name from the abundant wisteria which bloom between April-May, Fujii-dera is symbolic for its ward against disaster and its statue of Kannon- the thousand armed Goddess of Mercy. Both have survived through countless fires and earthquakes over the centuries.
Eighty-Eight Sacred Places in Shikoku: Shunichi Kadowaki’s series maps each of the Eighty-Eight Temples around Shikoku’s historic 1,385km pilgrim route. A tradition central to Japanese Shingon Buddhism and its founder Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi), this enriching trail continues to be a sought pilgrimage today - either by those in search of quiet reflection, spiritual enlightenment, or simply, a culturally rich experience.
