概要
Base of the Ikko-shu sect, the most powerful religious force of the Sengoku period. Founded by Rennyo in 1496 as the Osaka Gobo, it grew under Kennyo into a massive fortress temple directing adherents across Japan. The 10-year Ishiyama War (1570-1580) with Oda Nobunaga made this the longest resistance to his unification, earning Kennyo the title of nemesis of the self-proclaimed Demon King of the …

1570
Ishiyama War
The 10-year war from 1570 to 1580 between Oda Nobunaga and Ishiyama Honganji under Kennyo. Among all Nobunaga's enemies during his unification campaign, Ishiyama Honganji resisted the longest. The fortress temple on Osaka Bay (the site of present-day Osaka Castle) became a mighty stronghold, and with naval supply from the Mori, muskets from the Saika-shu, and the united faith of Honganji followers nationwide, it tormented Nobunaga for a full decade. At the First Battle of Kizugawaguchi in 1576, the combined Mori navy and Saika gunners shattered the Oda fleet. At the Second Battle in 1578, Kuki Yoshitaka's iron-plated warships turned the tide, yet the Honganji held on. The war was finally ended in 1580 by imperial mediation from Emperor Ogimachi, and Kennyo withdrew from Ishiyama. But his eldest son Kyonyo advocated continued resistance and broke with his father — a family rift that became the seed of the later 1602 split of Honganji into eastern and western branches.

Rennyo
Eighth Monshu of Honganji, Restorer of Jōdo Shinshū
Age 81 at founding
In 1496, at the age of 85, the eighth Honganji head Rennyo founded the Osaka Gobo (Ishiyama Gobo) at the northern edge of the Uemachi Plateau. Having passed Yamashina Honganji to his eldest son Jitsunyo, he chose this spot for his retirement hermitage — yet it would later grow into Ishiyama Honganji, the nationwide headquarters of the Ikko-shu. Rennyo oversaw construction of the Founder"s Hall and other structures and cherished the site until his death at Yamashina in 1499. Letters he sent to followers describing the location as "Osaka within Ikutama-no-sho, Higashinari-gun, Settsu Province" survive today. This was his final great project.
Saika Magoichi
Gun Commander of Kishu
Throughout the Ishiyama War (1570-1580), the Saika-shu led by Saika Magoichi served as the core defensive force of Ishiyama Honganji, fighting Oda Nobunaga"s armies for a full decade. The most advanced gunner corps in the world at that time, their precise marksmanship and unit tactics inflicted heavy losses on Nobunaga"s forces. At the Battle of Tennoji Fort, Nobunaga himself was wounded in the leg — a testament to the ferocity of their defense and the single greatest reason the temple held out for ten years. Historians remark that without the Saika guns, there would have been no Ishiyama War.

Shimotsuma Rairen
Honganji Strategist, Hero of Ishiyama War
Shimotsuma Rairen, born into the prestigious Shimotsuma family of Honganji administrators, served the 11th head priest Kennyo as the chief military commander and principal strategist of the Ishiyama defense. During the Ishiyama War (1570-1580), he skillfully coordinated with the Saika gunner corps and the Mori navy to keep the temple an impregnable fortress for an entire decade. From Nobunaga"s repeated assaults and encirclements, through the victory at the first Battle of Kizugawaguchi to the defeat at the second, Rairen was always at the heart of the defensive strategy. Contemporaries said "With the Saika of Kii and Rairen of Osaka, Ishiyama cannot fall." Even after the withdrawal from Ishiyama, he continued supporting Kennyo and Kyonyo as a close aide and was deeply involved in the negotiations with Hideyoshi and Ieyasu that led to the split of the Honganji institution.
