When Junnyo was born, his father was simply the eldest child born out of wedlock of the seventh head of the Temple, Zonnyo, so the Hongan-ji Temple fell upon bad times and it was just a branch temple of Shoren-in Temple, which was under the umbrella of Enryaku-ji Temple. |
彼が誕生したとき、父は7世存如の庶長子の身分でしかなく、本願寺自体も零落して延暦寺傘下の青蓮院末寺の存在でしかなかった。 |
