Publisher Description
Following in the footsteps of Kūkai, one of Japan’s most influential Buddhist priests, pilgrims have been travelling the twelve-hundred kilometre Shikoku Henro for more than a thousand years. New Zealander Shennen, a veteran of over forty visits to Japan and counting, shares his journey, and the insights that arise in the isolation and beauty of the Japanese wilderness.
Part travelogue, part historical guide, part spiritual tale, 88 and Forty will be of interest to anyone interested in the Shikoku Pilgrimage, or those who wish to know more about the culture and history of this fascinating country.
