1About Us
The Soka Gakkai is a community-based Buddhist organization that promotes peace, culture andeducation centered on respect for the dignity of life. Its organizational roots date back to 1930, when
first president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and second president Josei Toda founded the forerunner of
the Soka Gakkai. In 1960, Daisaku Ikeda became the third president at the time of the emergence ofa growing membership around the world, and the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) was formed in1975 with Ikeda as its president.
     Soka Gakkai members uphold the humanistic philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism in 192 countries

and territories around the world. Individual Soka Gakkai members strive to actualize their inherent
potential while contributing as empowered global citizens to their local communities and responding to the shared issues facing humankind. The Soka Gakkai’s efforts to help build a lasting culture ofpeace are based on a commitment to dialogue and nonviolence, and the understanding that individual happiness and the realization of a peaceful world are inextricably linked.
     

As a nongovernmental organization with formal ties to the United Nations, the SGI also collabo-

rates with other civil society organizations, intergovernmental agencies and faith groups in the fields
of nuclear disarmament, human rights education, sustainable development and humanitarian relief.

Tsunesaburo Makiguchi
Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871–1944) wasa geographer, educational theorist andreligious reformer.
As an educator, Makiguchi was devoted
to the happiness of children and worked
to ensure that economically disadvantaged children were given equal opportunities. In 1928, he was introduced to
Nichiren Buddhism, finding in it a holistic
philosophy that accorded with his own
thinking. On November 18, 1930, he
published The System of Value-Creating
Pedagogy. This date marks the foundingof the Soka Kyoiku Gakkai ( Value-Creating Education Society), the forerunner of
the Soka Gakkai.
The organization initially consisted ofteachers promoting educational reform
guided by Makiguchi’s ideas and his
belief in happiness as the core objectiveof education. Over time, it developed
into a broader-based movement focusedon the practice of Nichiren Buddhism
and its philosophy of empowerment.
During World War II, Makiguchi and his
protégé Josei Toda were imprisoned by
the military government for resisting state
control of religion. Makiguchi died inprison without ever having compromised
his beliefs.

Daisaku Ikeda

Josei Toda (1900–58) was a school
teacher and protégé of Tsunesaburo
Makiguchi. In 1930, Makiguchi and Toda
founded the Soka Kyoiku Gakkai ( Value-Creating Education Society), whose
original aim was to promote Makiguchi’s
educational theories. Toda was imprisoned along with Makiguchi during WorldWar II for opposing Japan’s militarist
government.
Upon release from prison at the end of
the war, Toda set out to rebuild theorganization, renaming it the Soka
Gakkai (Society for the Creation of
Value), reflecting a commitment torealizing global peace and empowering
individuals through Buddhist practice. As
second president, he developed theorganization into one of Japan’s mostsignificant lay Buddhist associations.
Toda coined the term “human revolution”
to express the central idea of Nichiren
Buddhism—that an individual’s innertransformation positively transforms theircircumstances and their environment. He
advocated a vision of global citizenshipand, in 1957, issued a historic declaration
calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons. By the time of his death at the age of58, he had built an organization of nearly
one million members.

Daisaku Ikeda was born in 1928. As ateenager, he experienced the horrors ofWorld War II, which fueled his lifelongcommitment to peace. At 19, he met
Josei Toda, who became his mentor.
Ikeda became the third president of the
Soka Gakkai in 1960, leading its international development. In 1975, he founded
the Soka Gakkai International (SGI), nowa worldwide association in 192 countries
and territories. He has also founded
cultural, educational and peace-related
institutions including an educational
system with universities in Japan and theUSA. Ikeda is a prolific author. His works
include discourses on Buddhism, essays,
poetry and children’s literature. He has
published dialogues with leaders, cultural figures and scholars from around theworld discussing ways of resolving thecommon challenges facing humanity.
Since 1983, he has written annual peace
proposals that examine the interrelation
between core Buddhist concepts andkey global issues. As leader of the SGI, he
has inspired grassroots efforts for anuclear-weapon-free world and continues to explore viable routes toward
nuclear abolition.

historian Arnold J. Toynbee (1889–1975), raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition
and well-known for his work A Study of History, and Daisaku Ikeda, an influential Buddhist leader of Japan. At the invitation of Toynbee, who was deeplyinterested in Eastern philosophy and Buddhism, Ikeda visited his home in
London in 1972 and 1973 and engaged in a series of dialogues to discuss anarray of problems facing humanity. This book documents their discussions,which spanned a total of 40 hours over two years.
Despite the authors’ differences of cultural and religious backgrounds,
they agree that religion is the mainspring of human life and civilization. In
order to find answers and solutions to the acute problems facing mankind
around the world, they say, it is imperative that human beings’ egoism—theinnate tendency of humans to exploit the universe—has to be overcome.
Expanding an individual self into the universal self or the ultimate reality is the
only way to overcome egoism and the only means of social betterment.
This volume covers a number of issues ranging from specific to global
and transcends generations—perennial problems of human nature and ourrelationship to other creatures, the environment and the universe.

English edition

The Lotus Sutra has spread beyond India into China, Korea, Japan and many othercountries. It has been called “the king of sutras.” Why has the Lotus Sutra attracted
so many people of different cultural backgrounds over so many generations? In
this series, Ikeda discusses how the Lotus Sutra praises the dignity of life and how
its teachings can contribute to promoting the humanism that the world requires
today. Ikeda not only explains the meaning and significance of each chapter ofthe Lotus Sutra but also discusses the influence of the Lotus Sutra on humanity,
education and society. The messages of peace and tolerance that come to us
from the Lotus Sutra provide a key to solving the problems of the 21st century.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth and Death: A Buddhist View of LifeLANGUAGE

APPENDIX P80

Catalan, English, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai

Buddhism started with Shakyamuni’s realization that birth, aging, sickness
and death are universal sufferings that all human beings are destined to
face. They are usually considered to be factors that lead to our unhappinessand tend to be resented. While many schools of Buddhism teach that there
can be no true happiness or enlightenment without eliminating earthly
desires, Nichiren Buddhism recognizes that some desires create value, andthat desires based on truth rather than delusion can even lead to enlightenment. Ikeda delves into each of the four sufferings and offers insight on how
these unavoidable sufferings can be transformed into sources of wisdom
and personal fulfillment.

A New Humanism: The University Addresses of Daisaku Ikeda
LANGUAGE

APPENDIX P68

Chinese (Traditional), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Spanish, Thai

Ikeda has given speeches at more than 30 universities, research institutes andacademies throughout the world. He has spoken on art, literature and education; the many aspects and dimensions of culture; religion and our time; and,perhaps dearest to his heart, the imperative of peace. These talks have beenpresented at a wide range of institutions: Harvard University, Moscow State University, the University of Bologna, Peking University, the University of California
at Los Angeles, the Brazilian Academy of Letters and L’Institut de France,
among others. In all of these speeches, Ikeda reaches out to build bridges offriendship, understanding and communication with people everywhere. He
does this not by insisting on his own position, but by exploring the legacy thatthe great thinkers and doers of humanity have left to us, highlighting thebeliefs and achievements of other great individuals, and introducing them tohis listeners. In this way he has been able not only to connect to audiences
across the globe but to expand their horizons and encourage them to seek
further on their own.

America’s premier scientist and peace activist Linus Pauling (1901–94) andDaisaku Ikeda worked for decades in the cause of disarmament, international
understanding and world peace. A timely publication at a critical juncture inworld affairs, this book is the product of their discussions held at SULA (abranch of Soka University in Los Angeles) in 1987. While the dialogue spells
out their efforts and prescriptions for dealing with current crises, it also recounts Pauling’s recollections of his childhood, his development as a scientist,and many episodes about his life and the people he has known—Albert
Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer among them. This volume gives a broad
and personal glimpse of Pauling, recipient of two unshared Nobel Prizes (forchemistry in 1954 and for peace in 1962). The authors, active and vocal intheir advocacy of responsible and humane progress in science, send theirinspiring messages to young people, on whose shoulders the problems of the

English, Italian

Originally published in 2001 under the title, Soka Education, and revised in
2010, The Light of Learning contains a new title, six new works, and revisedtranslations to better reflect what Prof. Jason Goulah in the foreword calls Mr.
Ikeda’s “uniquely Eastern and quintessentially universal” perspectives andpractices in education. Ranging from educational proposals and university
lectures to personal essays and poetry, the writings included in The Light ofLearning provide a comprehensive introduction to Mr. Ikeda’s broad educational philosophy. Updated translations center on key terms and concepts thatanimate Mr. Ikeda’s singular contributions to the field.

Reviews
The writings in this volume are compelling and encouraging, anecessary guide in the uncertainty of our turbulent times and theurgency of the moment. They will resonate with all readers, whether scholar or practitioner, initiated or new to Ikeda’s work. Embodying his characteristic commitment to penetrating dialogue,
they are ultimately an invitation to all of us to imagine possibility
in the given, create value in our rationality, and to know others
and ourselves and become truly human.

How can we overcome hatred and violence? How can we transform conflict
into coexistence? In this collection of essays, Ikeda gives his perspectives on
fundamental causes of violence and how to create a world where non-violence prevails over violence. “War is caused by people. It is therefore up to
people whether or not we will create a world of peace. This is the challenge,
indeed, the mission, that has been entrusted to each individual—each young
person, in particular—alive today.” Ikeda emphasizes that peace does notexist somewhere far away but must first be created in the hearts of people.

Reflections on the Global Civilization emerged from a series of conversations between global peace
advocates Ikeda and Tehranian (1937–2012), respectively of Japanese and Iranian origin. It covers
the encounters between Buddhist and Islamic civilizations from the 7th century to the present.
Despite all their cultural differences, Buddhism and Islam share a surprising number of intrinsic
similarities. Now more than ever, the search for common ground across civilizations is of vital importance. The topics discussed include the nature of religious faith today, global ideological terrorism,
religious fanaticism and universal human rights. The authors propose dialogue as the most effective
method of conflict resolution in interpersonal, intranational and international communication.

with Tu Weiming, Harvard University

Professor Bryan Wilson (1926–2004), a sociologist at the Universityof Oxford and former president of ISSR (International Society for
the Sociology of Religion), devoted his professional life to research
into religion and its role in contemporary society. This series of
conversations includes discussions on the origins of religious
sentiment in people as well as how it takes form in society, andthe spiritual, moral and political impact religion has on our
personal lives. Their stimulating discourse on medicine and its relation to religion are of great interest in light of the recent discoveries of the close connection between mental and physical health.

Confucian philosophy is thousands of years old. The principles of
Buddhist humanism are also expansive enough to embrace theentire cosmos. In this book, the authors investigate common
features shared by Confucianism and Buddhism to explore how
Oriental humanism can help avert the crises facing humankind
today. A world authority on Chinese philosophy, Tu expresses his
earnest desire that established civilizations become not only
teachers, but students as well. Ikeda, who has firmly advocatedamity between China and Japan, insists that building a global
society where different cultures with different value systems respect and listen to each other is crucial in bringing a culture ofpeace into full flower.

Unlike other major world religions, Buddhism depends on neither divine revelation nor an incarnation of God. Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, was a man who attained enlightenment through his
own efforts. As a biography of Shakyamuni, The Living Buddha is a vivid historical narrative based onwhat is known or what can reasonably be surmised about his life and times. It leads the reader
through the journey Shakyamuni Buddha, a human being, underwent to create a new spiritual
history for humanity, while devoting his life to the pursuit of eternal principles of truth.

Biography

Buddhism, which originated and was developed in India, gradually spread to China, acountry with a wholly different cultural background. Though the core teachings were
preserved, it was not unchanged by the people of China. The process in which newelements and changes were adapted to Buddhism provides a key to understanding
some of the characteristics that qualify Buddhism as a world religion. Focusing on the
narrative of those Chinese scholars and figures that upheld the Lotus Sutra and established the foundation of Chinese Buddhism, and the Tiantai School in particular, Ikeda
offers intriguing insights into how Chinese Buddhism came into full flower.

discussed throughout history with no definitive answer. Despite therapid progress of science and technology, life remains an enigma
to most people. In this book, Ikeda discusses how the mystery oflife as interpreted by Buddhism is linked with empirical deduction,
explaining spatial and temporal aspects of life, self-realization and
the Buddhist interpretation of death. Science and Buddhism
approach the same questions in different ways and offer distinct
answers. Ikeda’s analysis of modern science and Buddhism offers

Buddhism, which originated in India, found its way to China andflourished, reflecting the cultural and philosophical features ofChinese society. At the core of Chinese Buddhism can be seen
the theoretical system of the Buddhist philosophy of the Tiantai
school. Living at the point of contact between ancient Chinesesystems of thought and the Buddhist way of thinking, Tiantai
successfully developed Chinese Buddhism as a dynamic, uniquesystem of thought. In the stream of Buddhist history, Shakyamuni
Buddha set forth the fundamental principles and Tiantai perfected Buddhism as an integrated philosophical theory. Ikeda details
the development and progress of Tiantai’s Buddhism by vividly
describing Tiantai’s life and introducing episodes from it.

studies of the Lotus Sutra, this bookpresents these three sutras together inthe form of opening, main and closing

to the reader.

CultureNichiren (1222–82) was the founder ofthe Buddhist tradition based on the Lotus
Sutra which advocates chanting thephrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a daily
practice. Nichiren taught that this phrase
represents the essence of the Lotus’s
teaching. He embodied it in a mandalacalled the Gohonzon and taught thatchanting the phrase with faith in theGohonzon enables people in the present
age to attain Buddhahood. In order topropagate his teaching and also to
encourage his disciples, he wrote manytreatises and letters. The Writings ofNichiren Daishonin contains 172 writingsby Nichiren, and 234 documents areincluded in Volume 2.

Joseph Rotblat (1908–2005) soon turned awayfrom weapons research to make a prolonged andprincipled stand against nuclear proliferation. A
physicist of great brilliance, he also became acampaigner of admirable moral conviction andleadership. In this book, Rotblat and Ikeda reflect

Research Institute, Oslo

Ordinary people can and must guide theirleaders to create a future free from nuclear
threats. This compelling dialogue between two
prominent peace philosophers and activists—
one American, one Japanese—will raise readers’awareness of the very real threat to our world andoffer new perspectives on what can be done.
Choose Hope, a balance of Western and Eastern
perspectives, shows that nuclear weapons neednot be part of our future if we, the people, employ
the power of human imagination and choose toeliminate them. Inspiring examples of individuals
working for peace highlight the role that everyday
people can play in this quest.

Johan Galtung, former director of the Peace ResearchInstitute, and Daisaku Ikeda explore the interface
between Buddhism and nonviolent solutions to global
conflict. The two men share bitter memories of World War
II. During the German occupation of Norway, Galtung’s
father was imprisoned in a concentration camp for his
resistance activities. In Ikeda’s case, his older brotherdied in combat, adding to the terrible anguish of war.
Their quest inspires concrete proposals that are directly
relevant to today’s political agendas, such as the death
penalty, nationalism and regional unification, fundamentalism, arms reduction, the proliferation and supervisionof nuclear technology, and the role of the United Nations
in peacekeeping initiatives.

experiences of his dialogue partners. What can we learn from our illnesses? How is the patient’s
attitude crucial to healing? How do parents affect their children’s health? How much are our lives
determined by our genes? What are constructive ways to approach aging? What are keys for
effective health care? The answers to these and other questions in On Health and Long Life provide

solutions to the universal sufferings of birth, aging, sickness and death, elevates the life force andcultivates wisdom within to utilize medical knowledge to the fullest. In this book, Ikeda discusses with

What is the universe? What is life? These are the questions thathave not yet been answered even though science and technology have developed greatly. Mourão (1935–2014) was an astronomer at the Museum of Astronomy and Related Sciences in Brazil
and served as an official member of the Brazilian Institute ofHistory and Geography and as a board member of the Brazilian
Academy of Philosophy. While examining the enigmas andmysteries of the universe and life, Mourão and Ikeda discuss thecommon principles that penetrate astronomy and Buddhism andelaborate on the interrelationship between the macrocosm andmicrocosm.

In this volume, a comprehensive discussion unfolds, not on a
global but rather on a cosmic scale, as an encounter between
the universe—the eternal enigma of physics—and Buddhism, aphilosophy of human existence. Buddhism and the Cosmos, as its
title suggests, challenges that task of clarifying the relationshipbetween human beings’ inner world and the great cosmos, andalso attempts to substantiate important Buddhist teachings inlight of the remarkable advances of modern science.

Health is most important for a happy life. This dialogue is a discussion on health—a requirement for happiness for all humanbeings—between Dr. René Simard, the former rector of the University of Montreal, who is an authority on cancer studies, Dr. Guy
Bourgeault, a specialist in ethics and a man of profound learningin the field of theology, and Ikeda. All three authors wish that the
21st century may be a century of life, from which a healthy andhumane civilization will emerge, in which science and spirituality
exist in harmony.

“From the very basic quest for the meaningof life to the consciousness of it; from how tolive to how to be; from birth to eternity—the

The Cosmos, Earth and Human
BeingsCultureSpace and Eternal LifeA famous theoretical physicist at the USSR Academy of Sciences
and Russian Academy of Sciences, Logunov (1926–2015) explains
the latest science on the universe, molecular biophysics, cerebrophysiology and more. Admitting that science and religion havebeen considered contradictory, mainly because of the conflict
between modern science and Christianity, especially concerning
the authority of the church, Logunov and Ikeda agree that science and religions can play complementary roles. Ikeda, introducing Buddhist epistemology, shows that there is a remarkablesimilarity in modern science and the Buddhist philosophy on how
to look at the universe and life. They expect a kind of world religion
to make use of scientific knowledge for the happiness andprosperity of human kind.

Peace

Henderson (1933–2022) and Ikeda, two world-renowned global
activists, explore the rise of grassroots globalists-citizens all over
the world who are taking responsibility to build a more peaceful,harmonious and sustainable future. They discuss their own backgrounds and what led them individually to activism on a worldwide scale. At the same time, they provide encouragement andconcrete information for the millions of other concerned citizens
who want to make a difference. A wide range of issues that are
now gaining greater recognition at all levels of society are explored, including sustainable development, economic justice,respect for indigenous peoples and their traditional lands andresources, democratizing politics and international institutions,making corporations accountable, and conserving the Earth’s
bio-diversity, water, air quality and climate.

How does jazz influence our lives? And what do jazz and Buddhism have in common? In this volumeof free-spirited, improvisational conversations, two of the world’s leading jazz superstars, Herbie
Hancock and Wayne Shorter (1933–2023), and Daisaku Ikeda demonstrate the indomitable way oflife that jazz and Buddhism demonstrate. They draw on the history of jazz and how, with its roots inthe pain and suffering of the black experience, jazz not only expressed people’s sufferings but alsotransformed them, while bringing people joy and pleasure. The authors agree that Buddhism also
gives people the hope and courage with which to overcome suffering and enjoy life. Through theirown experiences, Hancock and Shorter share the idea that Buddhist principles such as “turning
poison into medicine” have much in common with the creative process of jazz. This volume also
looks back upon the authors’ first encounter in the 1970s and constitutes a compilation of theirexchange that spans over four decades.

with Ronald A. Bosco and Joel
Myerson, Thoreau Society

with René Huyghe, Académie
Française

Wang and Ikeda have maintained a correspondence since their first meeting in 1987,
and this book is based on these exchanges.
Their discussion covers various topics, including Wang’s work, his life in Xinjiang during the
Cultural Revolution, and the stories and literary
figures of Chinese classics. The authors draw
the reader’s attention to living life in a way thatis true to oneself. The reader will be awakened
to the vital power of literature in revitalizing thehuman spirit and how one’s inner world can
expand through engaging with different
cultures, people and perspectives.

In the provocative discussions that makeup Creating Waldens, Bosco, Myerson and
Ikeda explore the multifaceted, enduring
legacy of Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman.
The authors challenge us to do as thesegreat figures once did—to look deep
inside ourselves to discover our potential
for growth, to encounter the natural world
with reverence and delight, and to express
ourselves with poetry and imagination.
With great appreciation for the timelessgifts of the American Renaissance, Bosco,
Myerson and Ikeda encourage each of
us to create our own Walden.

In this book, Huyghe (1906–97) and Ikeda offer
intellectual and spiritual connections between art
and religion. Their guiding theme is the rediscovery ofa common humanity through the artistic andreligious impulses shared by all peoples. The dialogue
ranges widely, analyzing various contemporary
challenges from the perspectives of beauty and the
divine. The authors look at active solutions to global
disunity and disorder, emphasizing the importance offinding the key to harmony in life, and thereby themeans of reforming our inner lives. The authors
conclude by evaluating the crucial role played byreligion in helping humanity come to terms with themysteries and challenges of the unknown.

as they exchange letters over a one-year period. They

several times, contributing to the restoration of friendly
relations between China and Japan. Yasushi Inoue(1907–91) is an award-winning author of historical shortstories and novels, many of them set in China. Throughtheir correspondence, they reveal not just something ofthemselves but of Japanese society as well.

In this dialogue, Aitmatov (1928–2008) and Ikeda,
both of the generation that witnessed the historic
upheavals of the Cold War and the collapse of theSoviet Union, objectively probe ways to restore
dignity and freedom of the spirit to humanity. During
this process, they articulate their intuition that thesources for restoration of these qualities are to befound in the mind—in the romanticism of poetry
and the arts. This work examines Russian literatureand the deep implications of perestroika, andexplores themes that are relevant to civilization in
the 21st century, such as nonviolence, the dignity oflife, nihilism and the revitalization of religion.

CultureThe Great Steppes ofFriendshipIn this dialogue between Daisaku Ikeda and Sarah
Wider, former president of the Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society, the two authors share their deep insights
into Emerson’s thoughts, his life and his works. A
principle theme of their dialogue is reviving thepoetic heart and the encouraging power of words.
Shedding light on the poetic heart, Wider has
promoted the concept of respect for the infinite
potential of the human spirit as well as coexistencewith nature in contemporary society. Throughout
the dialogue, they frequently refer to the Emerson’s
works, alongside other poets that enrich andnurture one’s intellect and character.

In this series of conversations between Daisaku
Ikeda and Makoto Nemoto (1906–76), a specialistin Oriental history, the two discuss the great works
of Japanese classical literature. Their talks center
on Man’yoshu (A Collection of a Myriad Leaves,c. late 8th century), Kojiki (Record of Ancient
Matters, 712), Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji,c. early 11th century) and Konjaku Monogatari(Tales of the Past and Present, c. 1120). The
authors attempt to define the particular worth
and appeal of each work, examining some of theways in which it is related to the life and thoughtof the time. Finally, they suggest what significanceeach work may hold for our own age.

The Soka Gakkai is one of the most dynamic religious organizations in
the world today, and The Human Revolution is one of its most importantand fascinating documents. Based on Nichiren Buddhism, the Soka
Gakkai has some 10 million members in Japan alone, which gives it asignificant role to play in Japanese society. The Human Revolution is a
novelized account of the phenomenal postwar growth of the Soka
Gakkai and an informal biography of the man behind it, Josei Toda,
who served as the organization’s second president. Ikeda, Toda’s
successor and now the president of Soka Gakkai International, is also a
prolific author. More than the story of a great religious teacher, this is
the story of how a revolutionary change in a single man helped thelives of countless people by giving them hope, and how that change
set forth a religious revolution that has been continuing ever since. The
original Japanese series consists of twelve volumes. Together they cover
the Soka Gakkai’s progress from its rebirth after the end of World War II
in 1945 until 1960.

Akiko and Hiroshi come to live on an island due to their parents’work. At first, they are lonely and look to make friends. Then Pablo
comes. Proud of his home, he shows Akiko and Hiroshi all theisland’s secrets as well as the mysteries of the sea. But one day,
Pablo learns from his grandmother that the island was once
attacked by Akiko and Hiroshi’s country, and he quarrels with his
two new friends. In anger, Hiroshi sails out by himself into the deep
blue sea, against the strong wind and powerful waves. When
Hiroshi gets in trouble, it is Pablo who comes to save him. They arerescued by a passing ship and learn from its skipper that they are
not enemies. “It’s only the sea in between that makes us different.”

Taichi and Yumiko, two children who lost their home and father tothe war, meet an old man who takes care of an ugly, knobby
cherry tree. As the sickly tree hasn’t blossomed for years, theycannot believe it will blossom again, but the old man’s sincere
attitude toward the tree changes their mind. The children also
start caring for the tree in hopes that the tree will one day blossom. When spring arrives, the cherry tree beautifully blossoms andthe village also comes to life. This story will teach young readers
the importance of never giving up hope.

“We’re all just sailors comeashore off the same deep blue sea!”“Maybe that’s why I rowed out
when I saw Hiroshi was in trouble,”said Pablo. “How can brothers be enemies?”“How can anyone be enemies,”
said Hiroshi, “if it’s only the sea in between that makes us different?”

that blooms only once every century anda phoenix that eats nothing but thebamboo’s fruit. After hearing about thislegendary bird, the two boys walk into a
strange world. Through their struggles
against the evil that endangers the waterand plants there, the two boys becomeaware of the importance of the relationship between nature and humans.

Adolescence—the crucial period in one’s life
during which one develops a stronger sense of self
and lays the foundation for adulthood. This volumecontains two works aimed at young people fromjunior to senior high school: Alexander’s Decision
and Journey to Hiroshima. Alexander’s Decisiondraws from Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, one of thefavorite books of the author’s youth. It describes

In 1927, the United States sent blue-eyeddolls to kindergartens and elementary
schools in Japan. In return, Japan presented Japanese dolls to American

war cast a dark gloom over the future,
the dolls were a ray of hope. Twenty years
after the war, many of the blue-eyed dolls,
treated badly during the war and forgotten, were rediscovered. Finding inspirationin the history of the dolls, the author wrote
a story that will join the hearts of people
with a “bridge of peace” between
generations and across national boundaries.
