Description


Pilgrims have long been coming to Ashizuri-misaki to pay their respects at Kongofuku-ji, the 38th temple on the 88 Temple Pilgrimage (hachijūhakkasho-meguri) circuit. It is a 720 mile (1,200 kilometer) loop around the island of Shikoku. Now days most pilgrims make the journey by bus. These gentlemen were doing it the old fashion way, on foot.

That is dedication, I wonder how long it took them. Beautiful shot I love how you included the mountain behind them as well as the bell.

This is such a perfect shot. So much of what I think of when I think of Japan is here. The good natured resiliency of the people, the traditional clothing, the rituals and religious architecture, and the luxurious green. Beautiful composition, depth, and light! I love the light on the fronds! Marvelous capture!
