Words-and-Pictures:
The Sons of Emon Saburo
Note: This selection of Words-and-Pictures was made on October 31, 2001, as I visited Japan's Shikoku Pilgrimage.
These mounds are part of a major legend of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage: the Legend of Emon Saburo. The graves of Emon Saburo's sons are located between on the Pilgrimage. More specifically, they are in a rice field located between a bangai (unnumbered temple) representing Emon Saburo's front gate, and another bangai at the site of the hermitage where Kobo Daishi was living at the time of the story. You can read more about my visit to these graves, and more about Emon Saburo's legend, in my Logbook.
