The origin of the Amidado (a hall for worship of Amida) is usually attributed to the Jogyodo. But I think these have different sources. If we compare the figures enshrined in the two halls and the form of the two plans, we can observe distinct differences. The Jogyodo always belonged to the temple, and was the place where public events were held, while the Amidado was the place for private prayer. In proportion to the increase of the believers of the Jodokyo, a new form of belief was born and in accordance with it, a new form of architecture was invented. This was the Amidado.
