Junshō's death was kept secret for three years. A blind monk from Nara named Mokuami, whose physical appearance resembled Junshō, was used as a stand-in to conceal his death. Junshō's son Tsutsui Junkei took his father's position after he grew up and Mokuami was sent back to Nara as an ordinary priest.
