abstract
  • The Honganji Rioters is an umbrella term for the organized mobs who opposed Nobunaga on religious grounds. They may be dubbed Honganji (本願寺) or after their main base of operations, Ishiyama-Honganji (石山本願寺), the temple which was run by Kennyo. Ishiyama-Honganji has been stationed for generations in Osaka and shared close ties with the capital. Its traditional influence alone was a force to be reckoned with, capable of calling thousands to arms against the notorious-yet-inaccurately-regarded-atheist Nobunaga. Their forces were often a combination of peasantry, monks and sympathetic rural warlords. During their wars, the Honganji joined forces with the Saika Renegades, Miyoshi, Saitō, Uesugi and Mōri. The other umbrella term for these mobs, the Ikkō Ikki (一向一揆), is an older term used for rebellious monks and refers to rioters who were not entirely aligned with Kennyo for their revolts. Koei's interpretation of the mobs often merges them with the Honganji since Ishiyama-Honganji's abandonment in 1580 signaled the end for all other religious driven riots against the Oda.
