   FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE SHIKOKU PILGRIMAGE

   I have recently published the first translation of Musume Junreiki, Takamure Itsue’s 105 newspaper articles about her pilgrimage to Shikoku made in 1918. The articles are fascinating and reveal much about Taisho era Japan and about Takamure herself. She became an overnight sensation throughout Japan because of these articles. The book is available from Amazon and the title is THE 1918 SHIKOKU PILGRIMAGE OF TAKAMURE ITSUE: AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MUSUME JUNREIKI.

   Thank you for writing this book! I am trying to track down Susan Tennant urgently. I am an Australian academic and media artist, and I have been researching the Shikoku pilgrimage for some time. My doctorate is a creative project called Pilgrim, researching intersections between pilgrimage practices, and spatial narrative. After visiting Shikoku, I very much wish to work with the goeika of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage, and have been searching in vain for an English translation, for some time. By luck I have come across your work, and I see that perhaps you worked on the Awa Henro Bilingual guide…? Is this true? Is there any way I can get a copy?

   I would very much like to be in contact with you, Susan. How can i email you directly?

   Please let me know how I can follow this up.

   kind regards
