6 branches recorded under Jōdo Shinshū, one step down, as the records give them.
What this means

Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch

What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 1 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
