This antique Japanese Ohenro-gi pilgim jacket is woven with white cotton. All the stamps and text has been writen at the back of the jacket. In mint condition. Most of Japan’s approximately 300 pilgrimage circuits include either thirty-three or eight-eight sacred sites—numbers auspicious in Buddhism—and a pilgrim usually visits them in a set order. These journeys are often physically arduous and may require many weeks to complete. When pilgrims arrive at a sacred site, they recite a Buddhist chant or sutra and then may receive the temple’s cinnabar stamp and inscription in a booklet or on their jacket to document the visit. This type of jackets are called Ohenro-gi. You can purchase this pilgrim´s jacket directly from our web: https://www.nomada.biz/en/producto/antique-pilgrim-kimono-from-japan-118...
