Mogami 33 Kannon Pilgrimage

     Mogami 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized in the middle of the 15th century.  Some call their Kannon statues by the names of their villages, some others call their villages, vice versa, by the names of their Kannon statues or of their temples that enshrine their statues.  The Kannon statue, the temple, and the worshipping villagers are in a harmony.
