Virtual Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage

     Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized in 1192, in the Horse Zodiac Year, at the beginning of the Kamakura Shogunate.  In the year, famine hit the Miura Peninsula.  Suzuki Shigeie visited 33 Avalokitesvara precincts in the Miura Peninsula.  Since then, their Avalokitesvara statues have been exhibited to the public every 12 years, in the Horse Zodiac Year.

     The next Horse Zodiac Year is 2026.
