Ikkō-shu (一向宗, ikkōshū) is usually viewed as a small, militant, offshoot from Jodo Shinshu Buddhism though the name has a complex history. Originally Ikkō-shu was a small antinomian sect founded by Ikkō Shunjo (a disciple of Ryochu of the Chinzei branch of Jodo-shu Buddhism) and similar to Ippen's Ji-shu. However when the religious and military-political establishment began to crack down on the Amida-pietist movement little distinction was made between the various factions. Most of Ikkō Shunjo's followers therefore defected to the more powerful Jodo Shin-shu and the name Ikkō-shu ultimately became synonymous with Jodo Shinshu (Dobbins 2002).

abstract	Ikkō-shu (一向宗, ikkōshū) is usually viewed as a small, militant, offshoot from Jodo Shinshu Buddhism though the name has a complex history. Originally Ikkō-shu was a small antinomian sect founded by Ikkō Shunjo (a disciple of Ryochu of the Chinzei branch of Jodo-shu Buddhism) and similar to Ippen's Ji-shu. However when the religious and military-political establishment began to crack down on the Amida-pietist movement little distinction was made between the various factions. Most of Ikkō Shunjo's followers therefore defected to the more powerful Jodo Shin-shu and the name Ikkō-shu ultimately became synonymous with Jodo Shinshu (Dobbins 2002). Rennyo, the charismatic leader of the Hongan-ji branch of Jodo Shinshu responded to this situation by clarifying the positive religious meaning of 'Ikkō' (single-minded) whilst simultaneously distancing himself from the antinomian behaviour of the original Ikkō sect. In his pastoral letters, known as Ofumi or Gobunsho, he therefore wrote; "It has been established with certainty that our Founder did not particularly name our school the "Ikkō-Shu." On the whole, the reason the people call us this is that we place our complete reliance, exclusively, on Amida Buddha ...'However, the Founder has specifically named this sect "Jodo Shinshu." Therefore, you must understand that we of our sect did not originate in any manner or form the name of "One-Mind Sect."
