IkkÅ-ikki
The Ikko- insurgency (Japanese一向 一 揆, Ikko ikki ) were revolts by peasants and the Buddhist school Ikko- Shuu ( Jōdo Shinshu ) in Japan in the 15th and 16th centuries.
After followers of the Ikko- Shuu, Togashi Masachikas fight against his brother Togashi Yukichiyo had supported, they revolted in 1475 when he was not stuck to the agreement, to reward them with lands. Masachika suppressed the insurrection in Kaga down, whereupon some Ikko- Shuu turned to Rennyo, an influential Buddhist master, and asked him to mediate. However, a consultant Rennyos spurred farmers and the Ikko- Shuu to fight.
As Masachika was pulled at the behest of the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshihisa after Ōmi there to quell a rebellion, defeated the Ikko- Shuu going on. Masachika returned, but some of his vassals fought on the side of the rebels. Masachika was now besieged in his castle and was forced to commit seppuku.
Rennyo but not sentenced to pressure of the Shogun, the insurgents, excommunicated them. The Ikko- Shuu succeeded after and completely get after the power over Kaga and they supported in 1506 and 1508 uprisings Ikko supporters in neighboring Etchu and Echizen. From 1521 their power over Kaga was officially recognized by the Bakufu. More uprisings took on the Noto Peninsula, north of Kaga, and the rest of Hokuriku instead.
The Ikko- Shuu remained in the following decades an important factor of power in 1580 until she capitulated to Oda Nobunaga.
