Honganji to Tenka Jin No 50 Nen Senso Nobunaga Hideyoshi Ieyasu to No Tatakai (Gakken Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] Hongwanji Temple was founded by Shinran, and those who carried on his lineage and bloodline succeeded him as the head of the temple. The teachings of Rennyo, the eighth head of Hongwanji, spread like wildfire among the people, who were frightened by the warring states of Japan. In the Warring States period, Rennyo stood in the way of Nobunaga Oda, who was burning with ambition to unify the country, and a long battle unfolded between the three warlords, including the conflict with Hideyoshi Toyotomi and the containment of the situation by Ieyasu Tokugawa. This is the full story of the long and fierce struggle between the heroes of the Buddhist Order vs. the champions of the Warring States, the heavenly rulers and the people's cult.
