, "single-minded school," was a sect of Japanese Pure Land Buddhists whose history remains obscure.
== Overview == Ikkō-shū was a sect founded by Ikkō Shunjō (1239–87) in the fifteenth century. He was a disciple of Ryōchū of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū. However, his methods were similar to Ippen's and relied on itinerant wandering and the dancing nembutsu. As such, his sect was often associated with Ippen's Ji-shū. However there were also clear differences between the Ikkō-shū and the Ji-shū, such as the fact that the Ikkō-shū did not venerate kami and often disdained Shinto shrines.
