“Stepping back in time”, whispered a fellow traveler, her eyes wide with awe. We stand before the Yokawa Genzan Daishi-do Thirty-two Note Stele. This unassuming monument marks a pivotal moment in Japanese religious history. The Yokawa Genzan Daishi-do Thirty-two Note Stele commemorates the founding of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. This pilgrimage, a journey to 88 temples associated with the Buddhist monk Kūkai, is a journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. The stele, erected centuries ago, lists the 32 temples located in Kyoto. It served as a guide for pilgrims. They could follow its inscriptions to pay homage at these sacred sites. Imagine the countless feet that have trod this very path, their hearts filled with devotion.
