In the early-modern times, Buddhist laws of Shunjo IKKO and Kokua, which are considered to have been originally in a different line, were absorbed, and there was time when temples that worship Kuya were considered to belong to Jishu sect.
近世期には、本来は別系統であったと考えられる一向俊聖や国阿らの法系が吸収されており、空也を仰ぐ寺院が時宗とみなされていた例もある。
