Ikeda Sensei founded the SGI-USA Culture Department during his visit to the U.S. in February 1990 with the conviction that fostering promising, capable people of faith and intellect would be indispensable for advancing kosen-rufu in America.

The Culture Department is guided by the motto presented by Sensei in 2015: “Be humanistic leaders, overflowing with faith and intellect.”
