Abstract
In this report, I offer the exposition of Henro pilgrimage on shikoku island in 1937 held in Osaka. This involved with all temples concerns with Henro pilgrimage and was first one. Past studies hardly had regarded pilgrimage phenomenon as "spectacle" and especially tackled this exposition. This exposition was also a one of the memorial event of "Nankai " private railway company in Osaka. Through 1920-30's, for many private railway companies held several events along own lines, some one had interests to exposition of temples too. Without Nankai railway company and temples in Henro pilgrimage, some temples in Osaka, which were same sect, concerned with it and played a role of intermediator. They established the association for this exposition. In the process of planning, they were necessary to clear up or adjust some problems. Venues were along Nankai railway, one of them and station near that were established by Nankai railway anew. For 43 days during this exposition, 200 thousands peoples visited there. Some visitor had heavy religious motivation and worshiped butsues of Henro pilgrimage's temples intensely. On the other hand, many secular events also held for inviting many visitor.
