Zen'ebo Shōkū (証空; November 30, 1177 – December 24, 1247), sometimes called Seizan (西山), was a disciple of Hōnen, founder of the Jōdo-shū Buddhist sect. Shōkū later succeeded Jōhen, a Shingon monk with an affinity for Pure Land Buddhism, as the head Eikandō (itself a former Shingon temple). Shōkū then established a separate branch of Jōdo-shū called the Seizan-ha ("West Mountain" branch), and completed the transition of Eikandō from a Shingon temple into a Jōdo-shū one.
