	Siege of Ishiyama Hongan-ji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ikkō-ikki, mobs of warrior monks and peasants, controlled the Ishiyama Hongan-ji fortress, and were among the last to stand in the way of Oda Nobunaga's bid to conquer all of Japan.
		The siege of the Ishiyama would last until August of 1580, when the Abbot Kōsa was convinced to surrender.
		This was no easy task, however, because the Ishiyama fortress sat on the coast, which was guarded by the fleet of the Mōri clan, masters of naval combat, and Oda's dire enemies.

		The culmination came with a decade long campaign against the headquarters of Shin Buddhism, the Honganji temple at Ishiyama, at the hands of Oda Nobunaga and at a time (1570-80) when this major unifying figure would have preferred to be using his forces elsewhere.
		Honganji's program appealed to middle elites in medieval society, including traders, merchants, and local armed cultivators, and the popularity of the tradition exploded under Rennyo (1425-1499), when Rennyo's shrewd religious leadership was combined with a rapid expansion of the sociopolitical opportunities available to those elites after the Onin War.
		Nearly as well-known as the Ishiyama War is the ikko ikki which defeated Togashi Masachika, the Kaga shugo, in 1488, and which is generally credited with ruling Kaga province for the next hundred years.

		By the time of Rennyo's death, three years later, the general shape and size of the Ishiyama Hongan-ji was already in place.
