Daisaku Ikeda’s autobiographical novel, SGI President. January 1961. Shin’ichi Yamamoto is about to make his first trip to the Asian continent. Fifteen years have passed since the end of the world conflict and all the countries of the Far East have experienced firsthand the horrors of the war unleashed by the Empire of the Rising Sun.
The young president of the Soka Gakkai wholeheartedly wishes to spread the dream of peace and happiness of the peoples of Asia that he inherited from his mentor and predecessor Josei Toda. In early October, a trip to Europe is planned, with the aim of starting the kosen rufu movement also in the old continent.
"A single sun illuminates the whole world. It is also so in the world of kosen rufu. A single resolute person can protect all others and open a breach in the darkness of society, announcing the dawn of justice."
