Myōkōnin were largely unheard of in the West until [[D. T. Suzuki]] introduced them in his lectures and writings on [[Jōdo Shinshū]]. Most myōkōnin left behind very little writing, but in the case of [[Saichi]], he left behind a prolific amount of poetry expressing his devotion to [[Amitābha|Amida]] Buddha.

Myōkōnin have been documented through Japanese history, from the [[Edo period|Tokugawa period]] to the modern period.
