Nisshō Inoue
Japanese Buddhist preacher and nationalist (1887–1967) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nisshō Inoue (井上 日召, Inoue Nisshō, April 12, 1887 – March 4, 1967) was a radical Buddhist preacher of Nichirenism who founded the interwar Japanese far-right militant organization Ketsumeidan (血盟団, League of Blood). Contrary to popular belief, he was never an ordained Nichiren priest, but was rather a self-styled preacher whose extremist tenets were widely denounced by Japan's mainline Nichiren Buddhist establishment of the time.[1]
