They consist of vocalist and bassist Margaret Hiroi, guitarist Katzuya Shimizu and drummer Kenzo. The name, which means "pilgrimage to eighty-eight places," is reminiscent of the Shikoku pilgrimage.

All lyrics are written by Hiroi and often contain references to religion, such as Buddhism or Shinto, and different yōkai. All albums are released through their own label, PPR. The mascot character, who appears on numerous album covers, was created by Japanese animator and nicknamed "pilgrim" (オヘンロさん, o-henro-san). They performed outside of Japan for the first time at Eurockéennes Music Festival in France, on July 7, 2019. (en)
