'''Kakunyo''' (覚如) (1270-1351) is the great-grandson of [[Shinran]], founder of [[Jōdo Shinshū]] Buddhism, and the third caretaker, or [[Monshu]] of the family mausoleum, which gradually became the [[Hongan-ji]] Temple in [[Kyoto]], [[Japan]]. He was responsible for being the first to compile information about Shinran's life, and formalizing the new Jōdo Shinshū sect, while re-asserting power at the mausoleum away from Shinshu followers in the [[Kantō region]]. Kakunyo was an avid writer whose liturgies comprise an important part of Jōdo Shinshū services, while his biography on Shinran, the {{nihongo|''Godenshō''|御伝鈔||}} is still an important source for scholars.<br />
