- Osaka Incident: Daisaku Ikeda, then Soka Gakkai youth division chief of staff, was arrested and imprisoned by the Osaka Prefectural Police on false charges of violating election laws. At the end of the four-year court case, he was fully exonerated on Jan. 25, 1962. ↩︎
- Kamata Campaign: In February 1952, the 24-year-old Daisaku Ikeda initiated a historic propagation campaign as advisor of Kamata Chapter in Tokyo. As a single chapter, Kamata introduced 201 households to Nichiren Buddhism in a single month—a crucial breakthrough in achieving second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda’s lifetime goal of lighting the torch of happiness for 750,000 families amid the chaos of a war-torn Japan. ↩︎
