| Abstract | This session aims to deepen our understanding of the process of the formation of pilgrimage sites and routes by comparing historical traditions and iconography originating in medieval Japan and Europe. The session will consist of three papers; the first on the three-mountain complex of Kumano in medieval Japan - now a World Heritage Site; the second on the rise of the veneration of St Elisabeth and the development of a pilgrimage site in 13th-century Germany; the third is related to some art works concerned with Franciscan and Dominican orders for the benefit of Jubilee Years in late 15th-century Rome and reveals that these mendicant orders had been keeping a close eye on each other's artistic movements. |
