In the following year, construction was interrupted by the nirvana of Ichinyo, but in 1701 Shinnyo, the sixteenth head priest of the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple, restarted the construction after the stately ceremony on first anniversary of his death, and relocated the founder's grave and completed the construction of the main hall.
翌年に一如入滅によって工事は一時中断するが、1701年（元禄14年）、東本願寺第16世真如は一周忌厳修の後に工事を再開、この年に祖墳の改葬を行われ、本堂が完成。
