However, there are further sources of confusion as the term 'daibutsu-yo' is also mistaken for the Great Buddha hall style created by Emperor Shomu during the Nara period, and it is also not rare for the 'zenshu-yo' style to be used in temples of Buddhist sects other than Zen (particularly since modern times), including the Shingon and Nichiren Sects.
