Japanese: 日蓮正宗と正式に名乗るのは明治最初の頃で、それまでは日蓮宗勝劣派の一宗派（大石寺派）、一時は富士門流各山と連合し日蓮宗興門派・日蓮本門宗という富士門流八本山による連合宗派も作っていた。
English: While the position of the chief abbot became in rotation from Hachihonzan in the period as Nichiren Honmon Sect, it broke away from the sect under the official allowance of the branch temples of Taiseki-ji Temple to be independent, and called themselves Fuji School of Nichiren Sect in 1900, then renamed Nichiren Shoshu Sect in 1912 up to the present, however, it was apparent that they called themselves Shoshu Sect, which supposably meant shoshubun (the main part) of Hoke-kyo (Lotus Sutra), until at least the middle of the Edo period, according to the book of Kanazawa local history (it has 'Shoshu no Daimoku' (Chant of Shoshu)).
Japanese: 日蓮本門宗時代は管長は八本山からの輪番制となったが、大石寺本末・中末の独立が公許されこれより独立し、1900年（明治33年）に日蓮宗富士派と公称し、1912年（明治45年）に日蓮正宗と改称し現在に至るが、法華経正宗分の意味合いからであろうか少なくとも江戸時代中期には自宗派を正宗と呼ぶことがあったことが、金沢郷土史の文献（「正宗の題目」とある）から分かる。
English: On November 24, 1279, it was decided that the principle image (Nichiren Shoshu Sect) attributed to the appearance of the founder of the sect, Nichiren (enshrined at Hoan-do of Taiseki-ji Temple, Sohonzan) as one of kimyo eji (basis to take refuge), and it was Nichiren's long-cherished ambition, and was stated as the ultimate end of the Great Mandala of Mandala of the appearance of the founder of the sect.

Japanese: よって信徒個人レベルにおける戒律の実践は、「一切の謗法を捨てること（＝日蓮正宗以外の本尊を拝まないこと）」、「勤行唱題および弘教活動（＝広宣流布）を実践すること」で十分である、とされる。

English: It is only the Fujimon School which uses the respectful title of Daishonin for the title of gohonbutsu of Mappo (Age of the Final Dharma); in the Nichiren Sect (Itchi School, and so on), it means Nichiren Daibosatsu (Great Bodhisattva Nichiren).

Japanese: 日興は、1282年（弘安5年）の二箇相承にもとづき、宗祖から「唯授一人の血脈相承（ゆいじゅいちにんのけちみゃくそうじょう）」を受けたとされている。
English: After that, it was passed onto Nichimoku the third, Nichido the fourth, Nichigyo the fifty in order, it is passed to current hoshu (high priest), Nichinyo the sixty eighth.

Japanese: 現在、所依の経典としては、法華三部経・宗祖遺文（『日蓮大聖人御書』）・第2祖日興遺文・第9世日有遺文・第26世日寛遺文を正依としているが、天台宗系統の摩詞止観10巻および弘決・法華玄義10巻および釈籤・法華文句10巻および疏記をも傍依としては認めている。
English: As the basis of Buddhism, Sanbo (3 treasures of Buddhism: Buddha, sutras and priesthood), it is considered the founder of the Sect as the treasure of Buddha of beginningless time, Dai Mandala (Great Mandala) of Nam Myoho Renge-kyo Sutra (Devotion to the Law of Hoke-kyo) as the treasure of sutra, and the successive hoshu, of which Nikko the second, who was 'a person of kechimyaku fuho' (the person receiving the transmission of the heritage of the Law), was at the head, as the treasure of priest (priesthood).
Japanese: 仏教の基礎である三宝は、宗祖を久遠元初の仏宝とし、南無妙法蓮華経の妙法大曼荼羅を法宝とし、「血脈付法の人」である第2祖日興を随一として歴代の法主を僧宝であるとしている。
English: Originally the Sect officially insisted as the policy that, 'in Hoke-kyo it is said a woman cannot become a Buddha due to five obstacles,' but they changed their policy completely that 'it is only Hoke-kyo which taught that women can become a Buddha' after the defeat in 1945, when there was a movement at General Headquarters (GHQ) to eliminate the feudalistic atmosphere (Note that there is Shoman-kyo (Shri-mala Sutra) which taught the theory that women become a Buddha).
Japanese: 従来「法華経では、女人は成仏できない五障の身である」と宗派として公式に主張していたが、昭和20年の敗戦後連合国軍最高司令官総司令部による封建的風潮除去の動きに従い、「女人成仏を説いたのは法華経のみ」と解釈を180度転換した（他に女人成仏を説いたものとして勝鬘経がある）。
English: However, this change of policy was followed as there was no other choice but for Nichiren Shoshu Sect to do so in order to have a future as a religious school, since there was political pressure from GHQ described as 'GHQ strikes fear in the hearts of the people.'
Japanese: ただし、この方針転換は「泣く子も黙る進駐軍」の威光を前に宗派の未来への存続を賭けて止むを得ず行われたものである。
English: There is a theory that the abovementioned change happened in the same way as there was talisman held at the temples to accommodate themselves into Yokusan Taisei (Support system of Taisei Yokusan-kai (Imperial Rule Assistance Association)), and it did not come from opportunism and shameless.
Japanese: 戦時中、翼賛体制への迎合から寺院で神札を祭ったのと同じく、決して日和見主義やあさましさに由来するものではないとする見方も存在する。
English: * As it is preached in Daibadatta-bon (Chapter on "Devadatta," the 12th chapter of Hoke-kyo) that an eight year old dragon girl did Sokushin Jobutsu (attaining Buddhahood with the present body), thus in Japan, Hoke-kyo has been respected from ancient times as a doctrine in which women become a Buddha, and Hoke-kyo enshrined in kokubun-niji (nunnery temples) built all over Japan by the order of Emperor Shomu.
Japanese: ※法華経のうち、提婆達多品には八歳の竜女が即身成仏したことが説かれているため、我が国では古来より法華経を女人成仏の経典として貴ばれており、聖武天皇の命により全国に設置された国分尼寺には必ず法華経が安置された。
English: It said that especially it is not allowed for women to become a Buddha they die in other crest, (Nyonin Jobutsu Sho (Letters of attainment of Buddhahood by women)).
Japanese: 殊更（ことさら）女人成仏の事は此の経より外は更にゆるされず（女人成仏抄）
English: Only in Hoke-kyo that women can become a Buddha, for Hoon-kyo (the Sutra on the Buddha's Repayment of his Indebtedness) which we receive their kindness from mother's love (Reply to Sennichi ama Gozen)
Japanese: 但法華経計（ばか）りこそ女人成仏、悲母の恩を報ずる実の報恩経にては候へ（千日尼御前御返事）
English: Thus, there is many thoughts of 'Nyonin Jobutsu' (attainment of Buddhahood by women) in Nichiren's thought, the founder of the Sect, this criticism is in fact not true.
Japanese: とあるように、宗祖日蓮の思想の中に既に「女人成仏」の思想がたくさんあるのであるから、この批判は事実相違であるとも思われる。
English: Nikko achieved brilliant success working actively in shakubuku (a method of propagating Buddhism which was practiced by Nichiren Daishonin) as one of the six old monks of close disciples of the founder of the Sect, and established a powerful organization for religious society especially in Suruga Province.
Japanese: 日興は、宗祖の本弟子六老僧の1人として積極的な折伏に目覚しい成果をあげ、特に駿河国において強力な教団組織を創りあげた。
English: This rapid movement of propagation caused suspicions among the people of other religious sects or the authorities within Kamakura bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), and in 1279 the monks and ordinary people around Atsuhara village were suppressed badly, and finally there was an incident where three believers of farmers became martyrs (Atsuhara Persecution).
Japanese: この急速な布教展開は他宗派関係者や鎌倉幕府内権力者の警戒心を招き、1279年（弘安2年）には熱原郷付近の僧俗が徹底的な弾圧を受け、最終的に3名の農民信徒が殉教を遂げるという事件も起きている（熱原法難）。
English: After the founder of the Sect, Nichiren died, in the Mausoleum, a rotation system was organized by six disciples, however five disciples other than Nikko refused to do this routine due to the unsecured situation in wars or plagues, propagation in distant areas, and so on.

English: Nikkomon School of Nichiren Shoshu Sect and Nichiren Honshu Sect insisted that Nikko, the position of betto (chief officer) of Kuon-ji Temple on Mt. Minobu was forced to leave the temple by the hobo of jito (manager and lord of manor), Rokuro Sanenaga HAKII-bo, after the order of Hyuga, one of the original six old monk disciples.
Japanese: 本弟子六老僧の1人の日向の示唆によって地頭波木井坊六郎実長が謗法行為をして、身延山久遠寺別当職の日興はやむなく身延離山したと、日蓮正宗や日蓮本宗などの日興門流では主張している。
English: Nikko founded Taho Fujisan Shimonobo (Shimonobo Temple on Mt. Fuji) in 1289 and is currently know as sacred place where Fujimon School and Nikkomon School originated from.
Japanese: 日興は1289年（正応2年）に多宝富士山下之坊を開山し、多宝富士山下之坊は現在では富士門流・日興門流発祥の聖地とされている。
English: On the following year in 1290, Nikko founded Taiseki-ji Temple at the foot of Mt. Fuji after receiving donations from Tokimitsu NANJO.
Japanese: 翌1290年（正応3年）、日興は南条時光の寄進によって富士山の麓に大石寺を開いた。
English: Since then, the various schools which derived from 'Nichiren Sect of Nikko' and commonly called Fujimon School or Nikkomon School for a long time, have no doctrinally interaction and religious communication with Nichiren Sect, the combination of forty-eight honzan of Shoretsu School and Itchi School (of the Nichiren sect) under the religious policy before the War, however, they have academically interaction with them and sometimes monks from Nichiren Sect visited Taiseki-ji Temple.
Japanese: その後長きにわたって、通称として富士門流または日興門流と呼ばれた「日興の日蓮宗」の流れを汲む諸派は、勝劣派・一致派48本山が戦前の宗教政策により連合した日蓮宗とは教義的にも宗教行為の交流はないが、学術面での交流を持っており、日蓮宗僧侶が大石寺を訪れることがある。
English: Among them, Nichiren Shoshu Sect still insists thatevery other schools, including Nichiro School, and even other Fujimon Schools (later, it took a conciliatory attitude towards Nichiren Sect and did not follow Taiseki-ji Temple) are took as hobo because Nichiren's correct teachings were only passed to dharma lineage linked to Nichido through Nikko and Nichimoku
Japanese: とりわけ日蓮正宗では現在でも、日蓮の正しい教えが日興-日目-日道と続く法脈以外には伝わらなかったとして、日朗系などの全ての他門流、さらには他の富士門流諸派（後世になって日蓮宗と妥協的な態度を取るようになり、大石寺に従わなくなった）までも、すべて謗法としている。
English: In the Edo period, Taiseki-ji Temple was allowed to have dokureiseki (privilege to meet shogun face to face) at Edo-jo Castle, and Hiyori the twenty fifth, a grandchild of Emperor Gomizunoo, was adopted as the son of Hiroko KONOE, the lawful wife of the sixth Shogun Ienobu TOKUGAWA, and he was respected by the Imperial family, court nobles, the shogunate families and daimyo family (feudal lord family); however, there was strict control over missionary work by Edo bakufu, the same as for other religious schools, and there was continuous religious persecution in many places such as Kaga clan, Sendai clan, Ii and Owari clan, and Hachinohe clan, and so on.
Japanese: 江戸時代、大石寺は江戸城では独礼席を許され、また第25世の日宥は後水尾天皇の皇孫であり第6代将軍徳川家宣正室の近衛熙子の猶子（養子）に迎えられている他、皇室や公家・将軍家や大名家などの崇敬を得たが、他の宗派と同様に布教活動は江戸幕府の厳しい統制を受け続け、加賀藩・仙台藩・伊那・尾張藩・八戸藩などの各地では法難が続発した。
English: Kanazawa Persecution, which Nichiren Shoshu Sect suffered, was occurred because Myojyo-ji Temple of Mt. Kinei (later became honzan) in Hakui City, Ishikawa Prefecture, one of the Itchi School of Nichiren Sect, of which sohonzan was Kuon-ji Temple on Mt. Minobu, made a false report to Kaga clan, and later on it was found out that Myojyo-ji Temple of the Itchi School of Nichiren Sect feaced criminal charges by making false reports to be punished by being placed under house arrest.
Japanese: なお、金沢法難は身延山久遠寺を総本山とする一致派日蓮宗の石川県羽咋市・金栄山妙成寺（後に本山）が、加賀藩に虚偽の答申をしたために日蓮正宗が被った法難で、後に一致派日蓮宗妙成寺は虚偽答申の犯罪行為が露見し閉門蟄居の刑を受けている。
English: Most persecution that Nichiren Shoshu Sect had to take were due to false charges made by the Itchi School of Nichiren Sect of which honzan is Kuon-ji Temple on Mt. Minobu.
Japanese: このように日蓮正宗が被った法難の殆どは身延山久遠寺を本山とする一致派日蓮宗の讒言によって被るに至った例が多い。
English: There is a detailed description about Kanazawa Persecution in 'Search for religious persecution of Kanazawa' written by the historical writer, Toshiko MUKAI.
Japanese: なお、この金沢法難については郷土史家の向敏子の著による『金沢法難を尋ねて』に詳しく書かれている。
English: There was a conflict between the religious society of Taiseki-ji Temple and national power due to the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
Japanese: 1868年の明治維新によって、大石寺教団と国家権力との間には新たな緊張関係が生まれた。
English: Thus, the Meiji government, which basically tried to nationalize Shintoism as part of religious policy, tried to govern each Buddhist school individually due to tight control and political regulation.
Japanese: すなわち、神道の国教化を宗教政策の根幹とした明治政府は、仏教各派に対しては、行政制度上の統合整理強制によって分割支配をはかる方針を採った。
English: There was a background that the chief abbot of the Nichiren Sect, Nissatsu ARAI, and others aimed to 'unify the whole Nichiren discipline.'
Japanese: この背景として、日蓮宗管長・新井日薩らによる「全日蓮門下の統合」を目指す画策もあった。
English: Although Nichiren the fifty fourth of Taiseki-ji Temple put application 'to be independent temple of Taiseki-ji Temple' to Kyobusho (Ministry of Religion) in 1873 and continued to seek approval, it was not accepted, and in 1876, Hachihonzan (eight head temples) of Taiseki-ji Temple, Shimojo Myoren-ji Temple, Kitayama Honmon-ji Temple, Kyoro Yobo-ji Temple, Koizumi Kuon-ji Temple, Hota Myohon-ji Temple, Nishiyama Honmon-ji Temple and Izu Jitsujo-ji Temple, which were belonged to the Fujimon School, were categorized as Konon Schools of Nichiren Sect (later renamed Nichiren Honmon Sect).
Japanese: 大石寺第54世日胤は、1873年に教部省へ「大石寺一本寺独立願」を提出し、以降も数度にわたって諌暁を繰り返したが遂に容れられず、結果的に1876年より、富士門流の系列に属する大石寺・下条妙蓮寺・北山本門寺・京都要法寺・小泉久遠寺・保田妙本寺・西山本門寺・伊豆実成寺の八本山は行政上、日蓮宗興門派（後に日蓮本門宗と改称）として分類された。
English: There was no choice but for the Hachihonzan to have 'an official position in Komon School (chief abbot of Honmon School)' in rotation as representative of a religious school for political purposes, and Nippu the fifty fifth Hoshu became the fourth chief abbot from 1881 to 1882, and Nichio the fifty sixth Hoshu became the fifth chief abbot from 1891 to 1892.
Japanese: 行政上の宗派代表としての「興門派管長（本門宗管長）」の職は、八本山が交代で務めるという形を余儀なくされ、1881年-1882年にかけては第55世法主日布が第4代の、1891年-1892年にかけては第56世法主日応が第5代の管長に就任している。
English: The rank of the chief priest of Taiseki-ji Temple remained the same as Hoshu, while the position of the chief abbot was sometimes assumed by those from Hobo which was an unusual and humiliating situation for monks and other people of Taisekiji School, and the religious group itself was in an insecure situation.
Japanese: 大石寺派僧俗にとってみれば、大石寺の住職は依然変わりなく法主（ほっす）の地位ではあるが、管長の地位は謗法の人間が占めている場合もある、などという、信仰上極めて耐え難い異常事態が続き、教団の存立そのものも危ぶまれる事態となった。
English: However, after that, Nippu the fifty fifth and Nichio the fifty sixty continued to protest several times against the situation and for other seven honzan temples to stop the activity to the government, and finally they got approval for the group to be independent Honmon Sect and it was officially called Fuji School of the Nichiren Sect in 1900.
Japanese: しかしその後、第55世日布・第56世日応と、数度にわたり政府への抗議活動と他の七本山に対する破折活動が続けられた結果、ようやく1900年、本門宗からの分離独立が認可されて日蓮宗富士派と公称するようになった。
English: Then it was renamed 'Nichiren Shoshu Sect' by the decision of Nissho the fifty seventh on June 7, 1912, which is the current official name.
Japanese: そして1912年6月7日、第57世日正の決定により、現在の「日蓮正宗」へと宗派名の変更が行われた。
English: In 1930, Soka Kyoiku Gakkai (literally, Value-Creation Education Society) was established as an educational group by Tsunesaburo MAKIGUCHI and Josei TODA who declared their policy of a combined doctrine of Nichiren Shoshu Sect and a belief in Makiguchi's 'theory of value,' and Makiguchi assumed the position as the first president; however, Nichiren Shoshu Sect did not accept Soka Kyoiku Gakkai as a group of believers (Makiguchi described in the record, 'Soka Kyoiku Gakkai is not just pure Nichiren Shoshu Sect, but it is an independent group that proceeds my own theory of value.'
Japanese: なお、1930年（昭和5年）に、牧口常三郎、戸田城聖らにより、日蓮正宗の教義と牧口の「価値論」を合体させた教義を奉ずる教育団体として創価教育学会が設立され、初代会長には牧口が就任したが、日蓮正宗では信徒団体として認めなかった（牧口は調書に「創価教育学会は純然たる日蓮正宗ではなく、自分の価値論を実践する一個の独立した団体」と供述している）。
English: After the Pacific War ended, Toda assumed the position as the second president and he changed the name from Soka Kyoiku Gakkai to Soka Gakkai (literally, Value-Creation Society), and after that, Nichiren Shoshu Sect itself became very popular.
Japanese: 太平洋戦争終結後、第2代会長に就任した戸田は、創価教育学会の名称を創価学会と改称し、以後、日蓮正宗も格段に発展することとなった。
English: Especially after Taisaku IKEDA became the third president, (current chairperson emeritus) in 1960, it was the best time for Nichiren Shoshu Sect and Soka Gakkai, since kyakuden (guest hall) (Taiseki-ji Temple) and Shohon-do (Taiseki-ji Temple) were built with the donations from former Hokke Ko (the former Buddhist parishioner) and believers of Soka Gakkai.
Japanese: とりわけ、1960年（昭和35年）の第3代会長池田大作（現・名誉会長）の会長就任以降、大石寺には、従来の法華講（旧来の檀家）と創価学会信者の寄進により客殿(大石寺)や正本堂(大石寺)などが建立されるなど、長らく双方の間には蜜月状態が続いた。
English: However, the Soka Gakkai side gradually continued to insist on the change of doctrine, and after going through various issues in 1977, Nichiren Shoshu Sect excommunicated Soka Gakkai on November 28, 1991, in the name of the sixty seventh Hoshu at that time, Nikken.
Japanese: しかし、次第に創価学会側からの教義の変更が相次ぐようになり、1970年代後期の昭和52年路線問題を経て、1991年11月28日に、日蓮正宗宗門は、当時の第67世法主日顕の名前で創価学会を破門処分にした。
English: However, in the records of Shumuin Propagation Hall, there is no record of the approval for Soka Gakkai to establish its organization, and the relationship between Nichiren Shoshu Sect and Soka Gakkai is the same as that between Itchi School of Nichiren Sect and Rissho Koseikai (Buddhist organization founded by Nikkyo NIWANO and Myoko NAGANUMA), and some people said that Soka Gakkai was not an official believers group after all.
Japanese: しかし宗務院録事にも創価学会の組織結成を許可した事実が記載されていないため、日蓮正宗と創価学会は一致派日蓮宗と立正佼成会の関係と同じで、正規の信徒団体とはいえないとも指摘されている。
English: Usually, in the believers' group (Kochu) of Nichiren Shoshu Sect, the chief priest of the branch temples (instructor) and the representative of the believers need to apply for 'approval of establishing an organization' to Shumuin, and after the application is processed in Shumuin, Hoshu, the chief abbot of Nichiren Shoshu Sect signs and puts his seal onto it; however Soka Gakkai has neither a record of receiving approval for establishing the organization nor instructor from the beginning, and they were treated as outsiders within Nichiren Shoshu Sect.
Japanese: 日蓮正宗の信徒団体（講中）は末寺住職（指導教師）と信徒の代表が宗務院に「組織結成許可願」を提出し、宗務院で審議の得て日蓮正宗の管長である法主が組織結成許可書に署名押印するが、創価学会は組織許可書の交付も受けていなければ指導教師も初めから存在しておらず、宗内ではゲスト的に扱われていた。

Japanese: 日蓮宗はその開教以降、幾多の宗派に分派したが、その中でも日蓮宗の祖山とされる身延山久遠寺は武家の帰依者が多く、幕府統治下で勢力を拡大し、日蓮宗の総元締といえるほどとなった。
