New Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage

     Under the reign of the Tokugawa Clan, the capital city, Edo, flourished, and so did various pilgrimages. In Edo alone, there used to be 20 copies of the 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.  New Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage is supposed to be based on what was organized in 1668, say, Old Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.  New Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage even includes #3 Dai-Kannon-ji and #5 Dai-Anraku-ji Temples, which were both established after the Meiji Restoration.  Kamo Chomei (1155-1216) once said, "All things must pass; all worldly things are impermanent."
