Saint Shinnen Hoshi 真念法師
宥弁坊真念 Yuben-bo Shinnen
active around 1680.
His life work was to bring back life to the Henro pilgrimage in Shikoku by erecting more than 200 stone markers
四国遍路道指南（みちしるべ） Shikoku Henro Michi Shirube
and writing a travel guide, published in 1687.
He was also the first to add the numbers from 01 to 88 to the temples on the road
and erecting stone markers.
They are all about 77 cm high and rounded at the top.
The stone comes from Hyogo prefecture, go-eiseki 御影石, kakoogan 花崗岩 granite. They have been transported by ship to Shikoku and put in place with great diligence and effort by Shinnen.
Since the stone markers are mentioned in his book, he must have been putting them up before that, around 1680.
Before this, the Henro pilgrims have mostly been monks on their quest for Buddhism.
But after Shinnen published his book, more lay people began making this long pilgrimage.

39 (or 37) of his stone markers have not yet been found.
Now there is a group to study his lifework

「左遍ん路みち 願主（ねがいぬし）
真念はその中で八十八カ所とそのルートを示し「四国遍路」の原型を示した。「八十八」という言葉は、真念以前の巡拝記にも見られるが、札所ごとに一番から八十八番までの番号を付けたのは真念であり、四国八十八カ所を創った人物と言える。

真念庵（しんねんあん） Shinnen-An - Bangai 番外札所 01
located at the Ashizuri Henro Trail あしずりへんろ道.
There is nobody in charge there, so the villagers of the nearby village at the foot of the mountain offer a stamp for the pilgrim's stamp book (and often some o-settai refreshments).

The pilgrim's stamp of Shinnen-An 納経印
Since it is given by a lay person of the village, there is no brush inscription, only some stamps in black and red.
納経印は墨印部分のみ二種類ある。通常は左のものであろう。墨印の文字は「奉納経 〔地蔵菩薩の種字「カ」〕本尊地蔵薩 〔梵字の「カン」？〕弘法大師 土佐幡多足摺打戻 市ノ瀬山 眞念庵」。
朱印は右が「日本第一霊場」、中央上が弘法大師の絵像に「大正三年土佐眞念菴千百年紀念印」（弘法大師による四国霊場開創千百年のことであろう）、中央下は宝珠に地蔵菩薩の種字「カ」、左下は「土佐ハタ一ノセ山眞念菴」。
右のものの墨印部分は「奉納経 本尊地蔵大士 土州幡多郡市瀬山 眞念菴」。
