The Fuke sect featured distinctivemendicantkomusōmonks, who wore a distinctive basket covering the head and played ashakuhachi.Kanto-area komusō were based mainly in Ichigatsu-ji and Reibō-ji in present-day Tokyo. Monks of the sect were allowed to travel the country freely by the Tokugawa Bakufu, and were frequently utilized by the government as spies. Due to its negative association with the Tokugawa government, the sect was abolished at the end of theEdo period,and Ichigatsu-ji ceased to function as a Fuke temple, and was taken over by theNichiren Shōshūsect of Buddhism.[citation needed]
