“We, the women’s division of Shikoku Island, have been devoted to kosen-rufu activities since the early days…against the prejudice in our community, which is known as the ‘kingdom of the Shingon sect.’ We have been shunned by the community. Ten years ago [1981], in the midst of dire circumstances, a Nichiren Shoshu priest, who we thought would understand and fully support us, suddenly began saying things like, ‘Unless you belong directly to the temple (meaning quit the Soka Gakkai), I will not conduct funerals for you’ or “Unless you quit the Soka Gakkai, you will fall into hell together with President Ikeda.” (“Letter of Protest from Shikoku Women’s Division,” Jan. 12, 1991)
