Tennant, Susan

Susan Tennant, a Canadian, lived and taught in Japan for 11 years including 5 years on the island of Shikoku during which time she completed the Shikoku pilgrimage. Because of her love of the pilgrimage she co-wrote a bilingual guide to the pilgrimage temples of Tokushima Prefecture which provided important information for pilgrims. Later, wanting to make Takamure Itsue's account of her pilgrimage available to English speaking readers she translated Musume Junreiki, the compilation of 105 newspaper articles written by Takamure in 1918 as she made her pilgrimage.
