The author of this article starts by stating that he did not think it possible, but has often heard from the former Kanrei Hatakeyama Masanaga about the situation within Etchū. Hatakeyama states that the Etchū Monto should be harshly rebuked, and whether details of this can be passed along to Rennyo. Sonō states that he has not spoken with Rennyo for some time, and one shouldn`t confuse this issue with others as all appears quiet, hence perhaps Hatakeyama has something else on his mind (so thinks Sonō). At any rate, so that nothing else untoward is stated, Sonō has chosen to relay this information to Rennyo at quickly as possible, with more details to be made by Rengein. If Rennyo could do something about the Monto, it would be well received.
