Nichiren Mandala Gohonzon # 47: Instant Eradication of Disease Honzon
This Mandala Gohonzon is dated March 16 1278 and is kept at Nakayama [中山] Hosen-in [法宣院] [Dharma Declaration Institute] of Chiba Prefecture [千葉県]. The "nickname" of the Mandala is 病即消滅本尊. That means something like 'sudden erasure & destruction of sickness honzon." Maybe the "Instant Healing of Disease Honzon?"
This refers to one of the inscriptions seen on the mandala.
It appears that Nichiren did not designate a recipient for this one.

"This sutra provides good medicine for the ills of the people of Jambudvipa. If a person who has an illness is able to hear this sutra, then his illness will be wiped out and he will know neither old age or death." from the Yakuo [Medicine King] Chapter of the LS. {Watson translation}
