This is a "Jodo Shinshu Otani-ha Gojo Kesa (Buddhist Robe)". Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land Buddhism) Shinshu, also popularly known as Ikko-shu. A sect of Pure Land Buddhism, founded by Shinran. The fundamental scriptures are the Three Pure Land Sutras: *The Larger Sutra of Immeasurable Life*, *The Sutra of Contemplation on the Buddha of Immeasurable Life*, and *The Amitabha Sutra*. The *Kyogyoshinsho* serves as the basis for its doctrinal teachings. In contrast to Honen's emphasis on the practice of reciting the Nembutsu, Shinran emphasized faith, and the fundamental principle of rebirth is the Other Power (tariki) of Amida Buddha. It is a lay-based tradition that allows for the consumption of meat and marriage, and lineage is passed down through bloodlines. Although Shinran did not intend to establish a new sect, his great-grandson Kakunyo established Hongan-ji Temple as its head temple. During the Muromachi period, under the 8th Patriarch Rennyo, the sect's influence expanded dramatically, becoming the most widely supported sect among the common people. In the early Edo period, due to the shogunate's religious policies, it was divided into two main branches in 1602: Nishi Hongan-ji (Hongan-ji sect) and Higashi Hongan-ji (Otani sect). While the Higashi and Nishi Hongan-ji branches were headed by direct descendants of Shinran, there are also other branches, including the Takada sect of Senshu-ji Temple, which traces its lineage to Shinran's disciple Shinbutsu, as well as the Bukko-ji sect, Kibe sect, Kosho-ji sect, Izumoji sect, Yamamotoha sect, Seisho-ji sect, and Sanmonto sect, totaling ten Shinshu sects.
