Eshinni Life story


Eshinni was a woman who lived in the Kamakura Period and was the wife of Shinran, founder of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Japanese Buddhism. All that is known about Eshinni comes from the letters she wrote to her daughter, Kakushinni, during her final years. They are now preserved at Hongan-ji temple in Kyoto.
