The Saigoku Sanjūsan-sho
(‘Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage’) is a pilgrimage of thirty-three Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan, similar to the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The eleven temples listed by name in this lot are part of this temple pilgrimage. In addition to the official thirty-three temples, there are an additional three known as bangai. The principal image in each temple is Kannon, known to Westerners as the Bodhisattva of Compassion or Guanyin.

Donin Hosshinno (1689-1733), also known as Morinaga, was son of the ruler Fushimi-no-miya Sadayuki shinno (1632-1694). He was ordained and served as the chief abbot (zasu) of Enryakuji. Given his aristocratic background, he became known as the priest prince (hosshinno) upon his ordination. He was the head of the Japanese Tendai school of Buddhism and the 194th head abbot of Enryakuji Temple, Kyoto.

The Dainenbutsu- ji Temple is the head temple of the Yuzu Nenbutsu sect in Hirano Ward, Osaka. It was founded in 1127 on the mountain of Daigenzan by the monk Ryonin during the reign of Emperor Toba.
