[Nikkō] 1626–1698. A Buddhist monk of the early Edo period.
Born on the 27th day of the third month, Kan'ei 3 (1626). A follower of the Nichiren sect and the founder of the Fujufuse Kōmon school. He became a disciple of Nisshū at Myōkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto and later studied at the *danrin* (monastic seminaries) of Iitaka and Nakamura in the Kantō region. Because he protested the shogunate's persecution of the Fujufuse sect, he was exiled to Sadowara in Hyūga Province (modern-day Miyazaki Prefecture) in Kanbun 6 (1666). He died on the 10th day of the third month, Genroku 11 (1698), at the age of 73. A native of Kyoto, his secular surname was Yokoga; his courtesy name was Eiyū, and his religious title was Ankoku-in. His writings include *Roku-nai Keimō* and *Shusei Gokoku-shō*.
[Ippen Shudai] In the faith of the Lotus Sutra—such as that of the Nichiren school—this term refers to the simplest, archetypal form of a *mandala* of characters (the object of devotion). It consists of the *Daimoku*—"Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō"—written prominently in a single line (or column) at the center of the object of devotion. It stands in contrast to *mandala* objects of devotion that feature a complex arrangement of various deities, referring instead to a form where the *Daimoku* is displayed in a single, unbroken line.
