Through the Nichiren sect the 'hemorrhoid god' reached a large audience (he remained popular until the development of modern medicines).

In Kyōto 'Shūzan Jiun Reijin' found a home at Enjō-ji (圓成寺), a temple founded in 1630 by Nichinin (日任), 21st abbot of Honman-ji (本満寺).

Enjō-ji absorbed Iwato Myōken-gū (岩戸妙見宮), an ancient religious site established on a hill where it was thought the souls of the dead convened.
