Letter to Niike
BACKGROUND:
Nichiren Daishonin wrote this letter in February 1280 to Niike
Saemon-no-jo, a samurai of the Kamakura regime.
Niike was so called because he lived in an area by the same name. He
and his wife maintained their faith even when
all the Daishonin's followers were subject to harsh persecutions.
