Chichibu Pilgrimage Scroll, Chichibu, Saitama, Japan

I completed four major pilgrimages in Japan (Saigoku 33, Bando 33, Chichibu 34, and Shikoku 88) plus some lesser ones, but I only had a scroll made for the Chichibu (and books for the others). While I was doing Shikoku, a friend had the scroll mounted; I picked it up from her on my way back to Tokyo.

The scroll hangs 2' by a little over 6' (call it 60 cm by 185 cm)

A slightly closer view shows the figure of Kannon and some of the stamps.

This closeup shows Kannon's face.

The first time I saw my scroll hanging it was in the tokonoma (alcove) in my friend's traditional tatami room.
