1. Azuchi religious debateThe Azuchi religious debate took place between monks of the Nichiren and Jōdo sects of Japanese Buddhism, at Oda Nobunaga's Azuchi Castle in 1579. Nobunaga, who effectively ruled over all of Japan at the time, had a long history of low tolerance for the hypocrisy of violence or competition for power among religious groups. Following a number of disturbances caused by Nichiren followers intolerant of Jōdo thought or practices, Nobunaga sought to resolve the matter through a discussion.
