Legacy
At some point prior to 1582, the monk Kyonyo, leader of the Ikkō-ikki, entrusted a statue of Shinran to Mitsumune for safekeeping. The statue was later stolen by bandits, and Mitsumune could not afford to recover it due to his forces suffering heavy losses in the war against Oda Nobunaga.[2]
When the kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe was sent by Kyonyo to recruit Mitsumune and his men for a fight against Nobunaga's retainer Wada Koretake, Mitsumune informed her of the loss of the statue and asked her to recover it to boost his men's morale. Naoe did so, retrieving the statue from the bandit hideout at the Toneyama Post Town, and Mitsumune agreed to lend his aid to her and Kyonyo's cause. He also asked her to return the statue to Kyonyo, feeling that he was no longer worthy of protecting it,[2] and Naoe did so when she next met with Kyonyo.[3]
