Rennyo - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Rennyo Rennyo's beliefs, those of the Ikko sect and of the Ikko-ikki, centered on peasants and farmers; he opposed much of the ideas of the more organized and established sects, as well as the secular rule by the noble class. Rennyo (蓮如)(1415-1499) was one of the leaders of the Jodo Shinshu sect, and later the Ikko sect of Buddhism, as well as the founder of the Ikko-ikki, mobs of warrior monks, peasants, and farmers, who launched organized attacks on samurai rule. Meanwhile, the Ikko sect, being based so much on the power of the common people, governed itself, and grew of its own accord, growing in influence in Kaga and Echizen Provinces, and growing increasingly resentful of the control of the secular authorities. www.encyclopedia-glossary.com /en/Rennyo.html   (386 words)

Uesugi Kenshin Earlier, more tentative moves westward on Kenshin’s part had been frustrated by the activities of the Ikko-ikki; by 1576 the attentions of the Ikko were squarely centered on Nobunaga and a peace of sorts was struck up with the Uesugi. It was one of the Kaga Ikko’s greatest triumphs and disastrous to the stability of Echigo.
