Class: ALTERNATIVE SACRED ACCESS

Modern Wakayama heritage material records a Nyonin-michi, a route established along ridges around Kōyasan’s precincts and associated with the historical Nyonin-dō system.

Exclusion generated not simply absence but an alternative sacred geography.

Future edition should map:

  • seven Kōya entrances;
  • Nyonin-dō;
  • Nyonin-michi;
  • Chōishi-michi;
  • Daimon;
  • major viewing/worship points.
