For this reason The President misses no opportunity to try to make people understand the humanitarian goals of the movement he leads.
Just over a year later, moreover, the Tokyo Soka High Schools are opened, representing the first step taken by Shin'ichi Yamamoto to give concrete form to the system of creative education promoted by Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda.
"Our organization and movement are sustained by individuals. When people transform their inner attitude at the root, they awaken to their life's mission and can manifest their highest potential, thus succeeding in changing anything. The constant effort to encourage individuals is the lifeblood of the kosen rufu movement."
