When Junsho died prematurely at the age of 28, his heir, Junkei, was only two years old by the traditional Japanese system and therefore Junsho's death was kept secret and a blind monk called Mokuami, who resembled Junsho in appearance, served as his body double.
順昭が28歳の若さで没した際、跡取りの順慶は数え年2歳であったため、順昭の死は伏せられ、順昭と姿格好が似ていた木阿弥（黙阿弥）という盲目の僧が順昭の影武者となった。
