The Seikyo Shimbun was first published on 20 April 1951.[2]
The publication is owned and operated by the Japanese Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai.
It is not considered as a regular newspaper and usually does not provide current news.
It mainly features news articles about the activities of the former president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI), Daisaku Ikeda, and essays written by him, as well as news and experiences by Soka Gakkai members in Japan and abroad.
The Seikyo Shimbun is delivered throughout Japan by volunteer deliverers[3] to its subscribers. It is not sold in public shops.
Unlike the other daily newspapers in Japan, the Seikyo Shinbun is not a member of the Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association[4] nor the 日本ABC協会[5] who are officially in charge of the circulation numbers of Japanese newspapers.
