Nichirenism (日蓮主義, Nichirenshugi) is the nationalistic interpretation of the teachings of Nichiren.[1] The most well-known representatives of this form of Nichiren Buddhism are Nissho Inoue and Tanaka Chigaku, who construed Nichiren's teachings according to the notion of Kokutai.[2][3] It was especially Chigaku who “made innovative use of print media to disseminate his message”[4] and is therefore regarded to have influenced Nichiren-based Japanese new religions in terms of methods of propagation.
