Eastern Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage

     After the Western Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage in 1740, the Buso and Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimages were organized in 1753 and in 1754 respectively.

     It is unknown accurately when the Eastern Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized as the 10th Kannon Pilgrimage in Edo, but it was supposed to have been organized in 1769.  The pilgrimage was mentioned in Ruiju-Meibutsu-ko, an encyclopedia compiled and edited by Yamaoka Matsuake (1726-1780), who started compiling it in 1755 and finished it in 1779.
