"Carol Richmond Tsang delves into the complex and often contradictory relationship between ikko leagues and the Honganji institution within the context of sengoku Japan. Moving beyond the simplistic characterization of ikki as peasant uprisings, the author argues cogently for a fuller picture of ikko ikki as a force in medieval Japanese history. By exploring the political motivations and machinations of the Honganji and the diverse aims and allegiances of its ikko followers, Tsang complicates our understanding of ikko ikki as a multifaceted example of how religion and religious belief played out in a society in conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
