The mappo concept inspired spread of jodo faith that belief in the Buddha Amida would promise happy rebirth in the jodo (Pure Land or Paradise) of Amida. Temples dedicated to Amida were built one after another.The jodo cult, on the other hand, cause the practice of making images of Amida in painting and to hang them in houses of the nobility.
