From last 1st of February to the 11th of April, the “Kumano Kodo exhibition. Pilgrimage Way" can be visited at the Camilo José Cela Museum, comprised of more than thirty photographs of the sadly deceased Luis Ocaña.
The Kumano-Kodo Way is one of the most important pilgrimages that take place in Japan and, together with the Camino de Santiago, they are the only two pilgrimage routes in the world listed by UNESCO, in 2004, as World Heritage Sites. Both paths have been declared sister routes since summer of 1998.
In Japanese culture, Kumano is a sacred land that is reached after going through chains of rugged mountains like Kii mountain and where, according to the tradition, the spirits of the dead people could be found.
Luis Alonso Ocaña's work had the help of Tosukawa municipality and Nara prefecture, where the Kumano Way keeps an ancient tradition alive.
