A Travelogue of the Shikoku Henro Pilgrimage 四国遍路 (2024)
*Earphones recommended*
Snapshots of our adventure together on the Shikoku Henro pilgrimage trail in April 2024.
Laura and I walked together until Zenjibuji 禅師峰寺 Temple 32 (approx 350km) in Kochi before parting ways - she will continue on hoping to reach Temple 88 in mid-May! Follow her journey on Instagram @thequietplaceart
The Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, set on the picturesque island of Shikoku, encompasses 88 sacred temples and various sites historically tied to Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi), a revered monk from the 9th Century. This extensive trail spans 1,200 kilometers and is traditionally completed on foot over approximately 40-50 days.
Participants of this pilgrimage are driven by a myriad of reasons. Some seek spiritual solace, others crave adventure, and many, like us, pursue a period of deep self-reflection. The pilgrimage is inclusive, welcoming not only Japanese or Buddhists but anyone respectful of the local customs. You also do not have to complete the journey on foot or in one go. For me, the journey provided moments of 'yutori' - a sense of spaciousness and peace that allows one to savour life free from everyday constraints. Although I didn't finish the trail, walking over 350km in two weeks was a humbling experience and profound achievement, inspired greatly by Laura's companionship.
Shikoku is a relatively unknown part of Japan - it's the smallest and least developed of the main islands. However the people we encountered, be it the guesthouse owners, station attendants or random people giving us 'osettai' (free gifts for the journey), Shikoku folk have been kind AF. It's a side of Japan I've never experienced, and I hope to pick up the journey from where I left off someday! If you're considering this journey yourself I highly recommend you train, do a lot of research, join the 'Shikoku 88 Ohnero Pilgrimage' Facebook group and learn some basic Japanese. Ganbatte!
2024年4月,我們在四國遍路之旅的合影。Laura和我一起走到高知的第32座寺廟禅師峰寺再分道揚鑣 - 她將繼續前進,希望在五月中旬到達第88座寺廟!在Instagram上追蹤她的旅程 @thequietplaceart。
四國八十八處朝聖之旅設在風景如畫的四國島上,包括88座神聖寺廟和多個與九世紀崇拜的僧侶空海(弘法大師)歷史相關的地點。這條長達1,200公里的路線通常需要步行大約50天才能完成。
朝聖者參與這次旅行的動機各不相同。有些人尋求精神慰藉,有些人渴望冒險,還有許多人像我們一樣,追求深度的自我反省。這次朝聖是包容性的,不僅歡迎日本人或佛教徒,而且歡迎任何尊重當地習俗的人。對我來說,這段旅程提供了「餘裕」的時刻--一種空間感和平靜,讓人能夠享受生活,擺脫日常生活的束縛。雖然我沒有完成整條路線,但在兩周內走了350公里,這是一個深刻的成就,很大程度上是受到Laura的陪伴啟發。
四國是日本相對不為人知的一部分--它是主要島嶼中最小、開發最少的島嶼。然而,我們遇到的人,無論是旅館老板、車站工作人員還是隨機給我們「お接待」(旅途中的免費禮物)的人,四國人都非常友好。這是我從未體驗過的日本的一面,我希望有一天能從中斷的地方繼續進行旅行!如果你自己也在考慮這樣的旅行,我強烈建議你訓練,做大量研究,加入「四國88 Ohnero朝聖」Facebook小組,並學習一些基本的日語。加油!
This entire journey was captured on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, faithfully recording every step of our adventure.

Whereas older Western...

Pricing at least US$90 per fruit, the musk melon is one of the world's most expensive fruits. The musk melon in Japan has been sometimes called 'the king of fruit', and is often given as gifts - as is the common custom in the land of the rising sun.

The music selection is perfect for this. I lowkey love it. Kinda reminds me of the 'optimistic' or 'artisanal' side of IDM. I think of like... Plaid, Jon Hopkins, Benn Jordan, Ochre... artists like that.
Be happy, healthy and successful always
I would so love to learn this craft
I saw a Noh performance for the first time this year in Tokyo. It was a very special experience. I can’t wait to go again.
🙂
Great to see you again! I re-watched your Japanese Artisans series and showed it to some friends a few weeks back and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it
thanks for dropping by!
Great work!
all the comments capture my awe of detail, perfection, and heartfelt care and learning
making incense…what a master craftsman
Supreme❤
All my respect... I'm actually crafting handmade incense stick with a base of Tabu's wood. Just my hands, a little hand extruder that can only extracts one stick at a time. I'm working hard, creating my own perfumes, watching as many videos I can to learn more and more... Cross my fingers to open my e-shop of japanese handmade incense
With natural resources depleting, I see the incense business retiring also. I need to grow a sandalwood tree and whats that other one, agarwood. The sandalwood tree takes 60 yrs minimum to be used for incense.
Amazing.❤
Amazing.

Hi!
What this film said in 8minutes is worth 8 years of contemplation
「物の哀れ」
Wow this is amazing
Excellent 🤌
Breathtaking stuff as usual!
I discovered and appreciated wasabi thanks to this video few years ago, thank you! I am soon visiting Japan and would like to get in contact with iriya manaka farm. Do you have any contact you can share? thank you
glad to hear that! i can't give personal info and i'm unsure if they cater to private visitors. However you can try to go through the Izu tourism site to gain access: www.city.izu.shizuoka.jp/
@@FalloutMediaHK thank you so much!
I love Noh❤
Hello thank you for your great video! Do you happen to have their website, I would love to buy a wazuku iron kettle!
sure it's www.wazuqu.jp/
While I do see how this is indeed sad, I also felt like it was overwhelmingly wholesome as well as beautiful. This man is fully aware that he is the last to run his families shop, yet he’s come to terms with it. There’s so much wisdom he holds. While it will be sad for this family business to end, there’s something extraordinary in knowing that no one will ever be able to recreate it perfectly. He is, quite literally, a master of his craft, and his work will live in his customers memories. You can’t trade that for anything.
I hope the craftsman is the film found his successor.
I am watching this film because I have had two beautiful iron Japanese works, a bowl and a platter, for many years. I found them in San Francisco, and one still had the label worded "Kikuchi Hojudo." The label looks very, very old--much older than UA-cam! So after all these years I thought to look up the maker on the internet, and I am so grateful I found this story! What the gentleman said is so true--a handmade artifact is a treasure; I will love these pieces as long as I live, and give them to my children. The iron has a soul that seems to glow.
I greatly admire Japanese craftsmen and craftsmanship. Whatever they do their dedication is amazing. Most of the world isn't ready to say goodbye to them 😢.
Japan is the only country in the world when you visit you feel like you are in another world
And strangely enough, as if you've time traveled to a past or future time at the same time.
My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Dream job.
"Oldest surviving form of theater in the world" I guess 14th century theater is older than the theater of ancient Greece starting in 500 B.C
This is my Noh performance in Japan as a foreigner: ua-cam.com/video/lZFSInGI9ps/v-deo.html
Sad, as an incense fanatic this would have been my dream to learn this craft from experienced person like him. :'/
Then do it. In the video he says he started at 35. Learn the language and go for it. Nothing stopping you.
That mask of the female noble was breathtaking. You could see the lines of her hair, the pores of her skin, it’s obviously an ancient carving technique and style but it creates wonderfully lifelike characters.
Great work! Thank you for sharing!
Bushido, the way of the warrior Shokunin, the way of the craftsman
believe the test is look like other melon they just make things like that to sale it at high price

Beautifully made video. Rest In Peace. You did your ancestors proud 🙏🏻 I completely agree with him - we can’t let ourselves become complete robots. We need history and music and ART
its just mind blowing to see and hear the passion he has for his craft his products are truly beautiful when i eventually go to japan i plan on visiting his shop to say just that but just watching his work and how much time and energy he puts in is incredible
Isn't Pansari equally old?
What is with this stupid music in the background. This music has nothing to do with Noh.
Always wanted to know what "yoooo" means in Noh.
The UA-cam channel below has to be one of the most unique, most varied and most beautiful food & cooking, fruits and vegetables and country lifestyle living channels around. The episode in the link also focuses on the use of Wasabi. Hope that everyone will enjoy this nice and interesting clip. ua-cam.com/video/4LERTDRxGTY/v-deo.html Many happy greetings from Tasmania ..... (。◕‿◕。)
Beautiful ❤️👍
i would love to work with him and teach me this wonderful work
um,... to me,... I enjoy Noh so much,... but also, it's fun to watch some of the audience fall asleep during the performance! (^_^) ... maybe they are enjoying Noh in their dreams !
Second time I have seen this - good to know such skill, and love for a craft, still exists.
I watch this at least once a year. It’s amazing. Great work. I love the look soooo much. All your work actually.
