*''Japanese'': 一遍 ''(Ippen)''
Ippen was the founder in [[1274]] of the [[Jishu|Jishû]] sect of [[Amida]] [[Buddhism]], which advocated that since Amida is present everywhere, there is no need to construct new, separate, places of worship, but rather that one should sing and dance in praise of Amida everywhere, including in the [[Buddhist temples]] of other sects, and at [[Shinto shrines]].
