Hokke Ikki - Hokke Ikki

Japanese: 法華一揆 - ほっけいっき

An uprising by Nichiren sect (Hokke sect) followers, mainly consisting of townspeople in Kyoto, during the Sengoku period. In the early Tenbun era (1532-1555), Nichiren sect took root among the townspeople of Kyoto, and followers frequently staged uprisings. In 1532, Hosokawa Harumoto used the power of the Hokke uprising to burn down Yamashina Honganji Temple in order to suppress the Ikko sect followers. Nichiren sect followers were also defiant towards Enryakuji Temple, so in 1536, 60,000 Enryakuji followers burned down 21 Nichiren sect temples, destroying the Hokke uprising. After this burning, known as the Tenbun Hokke Rebellion, Nichiren sect was banned in Kyoto until 1542.

戦国時代，京都の町衆を主体とした日蓮宗（法華宗）徒の一揆。天文（1532年―1555年）の初期，日蓮宗は京都町衆の中に根を張り宗徒はしばしば一揆を起こした。1532年細川晴元は一向宗徒討伐のため法華一揆の力を利用して山科(やましな)本願寺を焼いた。日蓮宗徒は延暦寺に対しても挑戦的だったので，1536年延暦寺宗徒６万は日蓮宗の21の寺を焼き払い法華一揆を壊滅させた。天文法華の乱（天文法乱）といわれる焼打ち以後，1542年まで日蓮宗は京都で禁教の状態にあった。
