Among common Nichiren Buddhists, the school is often referred to as the "Minobu Sect" due to their prominence within the Mount Minobu area. The school's Head Temple, Kuon-ji, is located on Mount Minobu where Nichiren lived in seclusion and where he asked to be buried. Another significant temple of Nichiren Shū is the" Ikegami Honmon-ji" where Nichiren died. Accordingly, many of Nichiren’s most important personal artifacts and writings preserved, also considered to be National Treasures of Japan are within their safekeeping.
