  The Honganji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism was a powerhouse that exercised its military will by fanning violent uprisings of ikko ikki, loosely structured leagues of one mind . This title looks at the complex and often contradictory relationship between these ikko leagues and the Honganji institution.
