Jôchô died in [[1057]] and is buried in [[Jobonrendaiji|Jôbon-rendai-ji]] in northern Kyoto. His tombstone is inscribed with the name Jôchô written in different characters than normally used to write his name (常朝 instead of 定朝); this alternate form of his name was granted him by the Imperial Court.

His son [[Kakujo|Kakujô]] founded a studio on Shichijô, while Jôchô's disciple [[Chosei|Chôsei]] created his studio on Sanjô. Kakujo was then followed by his sons [[Raijo|Raijô]] and [[Injo|Injô]], who were in turn followed by Raijô's son [[Kojo|Kôjô]], and Kôjô's son [[Kokei|Kôkei]], who, along with his son [[Unkei]] and disciples [[Kaikei]] and [[Jokei|Jôkei]] formed the core of the [[Kei school]] and of [[Kamakura period]] Buddhist sculpture; thus, it can be seen that Jôchô's influence and impact was quite extensive and long-lasting, and integral to the Kei school's own style.
