The Thirty-three Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage - Handsome design from Hiromitsu Nakazawa's series depicting the Saigoku Pilgrimage route through western Japan, which includes 33 temples that are dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy.

The scenes include landscapes and interior views of temples, as well as pilgrims making their way along the route or visiting the shrines.

Theses prints are from the first edition published by Bun'endo of Kyoto in 1925. An interesting and seldom seen modern Japanese print series.
