520 |a The Shikoku pilgrimage, a 1400km, 88 temple circuit around Japan's 4th largest island, takes around 40 days by foot, or a week by car. Historically, Buddhist ascetics walked it without ceasing, creating a tradition of unending pilgrimage that continues in the present era, both by pilgrims on foot and by others in cars. Some spend decades walking the pilgrimage, while others drive it repeatedly, completing hundreds of pilgrimage circuits. Some have only done the pilgrimage a few times but already imagine themselves as unending pilgrims and intend to do it 'until we die'. Featuring extensive fieldwork and interviews, this study of Japan's most famous Buddhist pilgrimage presents new theoretical perspectives on pilgrimage in general, along with rich ethnographic examples of pilgrimage practices in contemporary Japan.
