In this paper, I summarize the case of ōjō presented in the Zoku Myōkōnin-den , edited by Zōō. In previous studies, it has been pointed out that a tale of return from the dead ( sosei ) which is as an example of ōjō is found in Zōō’s Myōkōninden , but it has not attracted particular attention. As return from the dead is a topic which is only barely mentioned in Shin-Buddhism, this research tried to focus on this topic. As a result, scenes of returning from death have been identified in the three stories of Sheshū Sukezaemon , Jōshū Okiku and Kyōto Osato .
