Additionally, Chiko's own sobo (the priests' living quarters in a Buddhist temple) was called Gango-ji Temple, because he had hung Jodo Henso-zu (Jodo Mandala) which he had painters paint and prayed for the rebirth in Gokuraku-Jodo.
また、智光が自らの僧房に、画工に描かせた浄土変相図（浄土曼荼羅）を掛けて極楽往生を念じた縁由により、元興寺という呼称が用いられるようになった。
