Jinaicho are self governing communities run by Jōdo Shinshū in the Muromachi period.[1]
Cities and Buddhist Temples edit
Buddhist temples were important in medieval Japanese cities. They were linked to city growth. Buddhist sects formed in cities. People joined them to escape the caste system. Priests used to travel. They started staying in one place during rains. Temples were built in easy-to-reach locations. Over time, temples became important city features. "City castles" or tojo made temples more prominent.[1]
Formation and Development of Jinaicho edit
Jinaicho developed in stages:
- Before Jinaicho: Temples were symbols of authority.
- Emergence of Jinaicho: Public halls were built for worship.
- Central and Regional Jinaicho: There were main and smaller jinaicho.
- Transformation of Jinaicho: Jinaicho changed over time.
Jodo Shinshu followers led to Jinaicho's rise. They built towns around temples for religious solidarity.[1]
Jinaicho in Urban History edit
Jinaicho was part of a larger urban trend. In Kyoto, the Hokke sect built a walled area. Sakai and Hirano became fortified cities. This was for defense and independence. Warriors built castle towns, or jokamachi. The article compares jinaicho with jokamachi. It looks at their walls, moats, and town centers. This shows how these towns were different.[1]

so please keep that in mind as I am trying to avoid having it be g13 deleted when I intend on working on it later[1]. Looking here will help with understanding why I created it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Jinaicho as the page was created due to a redlink and I am intending on filling it in later]]
