Nichiren Shoshu - Nichiren Shoshu

Japanese: 日蓮正宗 - にちれんしょうしゅう

A sect of the Nichiren sect whose head temple is Taisekiji in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and whose founder is Nikko. Taisekiji was originally a famous temple of the Komon sect, and after the Meiji period it became independent along with other temples of the Komon sect. In 1900, Taisekiji alone separated and took the name Nichiren sect Fujiha, and in 1913 it changed its name to its current one. Soka Gakkai was the organization that protected this sect, but conflicts came to the surface in 1980, and the sect announced excommunication to the Soka Gakkai.

静岡県富士宮市の大石寺を総本山とし，日興を派祖とする日蓮宗の一派。大石寺はもと興門派の名刹で，明治以後，他の興門派の諸寺院とともに独立したが，1900年大石寺のみ分立して日蓮宗富士派と称し，13年さらに現在の宗名に改めた。創価学会はこの宗派の護持団体であったが，80年以降対立が表面化し，宗門側が学会に破門を通告した。
