Virtual Fushimi 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #29 Unknown

     Nothing is unknown and unknowable today about either the temple name or where it used to be located.

     The 33 Kannon Pilgrimage in Japan most propagated in the Edo Period, when businesses developed and merchants became affluent.  Many 33 Kannon pilgrimages were organized to satisfy the religious minds of ordinary citizens, or actually sometimes to enable them to travel. The mercantilism was always looking for a chance to take the place of the physiocratie.

     No sooner had the mercantilism triumphed than the imperialism swallowed up everything.  As a spiritual pillar to prop up the imperialism, the shinto was established as the state religion.  The shinto nationalism swept off many 33 Kannon pilgrimages as well as Buddhist temples.

     After World War II, the super-modernization washed away some 33 Kannon pilgrimages as well as temples.  People forgot their gods and their buddhas alike.  And today, the depopulation in rural areas are shaking the basis of the very existence of temples and shrines alike.  No people, no religions.

     One of those waves might have wiped out #29 into oblivion.
