Tamba 33 Kannon Pilgrimage

     Tamba 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized during the first half of the 15th century.  By the time its first guidebook was published in 1807, the pilgrimage membership had become vague.  The guidebook listed three pairs of the temples which had the same numbers.  The guidebook covered all the 36 temples in total, and nobody can tell today which ones used to be the first member temples and which ones were added later.  Or was the membership of the pilgrimage vague even from its start?  Anyway, having a couple of lists is not so unusual among 33 Kannon Pilgrimages in Japan.
