Kakashi Henro pilgrims

Kakashi dolls depicting the Shikoku Island pilgrims (O-Henro-san), Kamiyama, Japan. The Henro is a 88 temple pilgrimage, one of the oldest in the world, honoring the Buddist monk, Kukai. It is traditionally done on foot, circumnavigating 1200 km of Shikoku Island, taking 30-60 days. The pilgrims wear white outfits, a stole, conical grass hats and carry staffs. Every time I visit Shikoku Island I never fail to see many O-Henro-san.
