As a result, the Hongan-ji Temple power grew year by year and strengthened a connection with the central authority when the 11th chief priest Kennyo became Monzeki (this title was basically given to the Imperial family and nobility who entered into priesthood and became a chief priest).
その結果、本願寺の権力は年々増大し、11世の顕如が門跡（門跡は皇族・貴族が僧籍に入り住職となる際の呼称）になるなど、中央権力との結びつきが強くなった。
