The Shichijô studio then went on to work for the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], producing in [[1631]] a [[Yakushi]] Triad and sculptures of the [[Twelve Heavenly Generals]] for the temples at [[Nikko|Nikkô]], and, it is believed, a sculpture of Amida and two of [[Kannon]] for Nikkô's [[Rinno-ji|Rinnô-ji]] in [[1645]].
