"There are some SGI-USA websites (like this one) who state that “It was the Japanese war brides, married to U.S. military men who brought Nichiren’s Buddhism to America in the late ‘50’s and early 60’s.”

Below is a quote from the Preface of Nissatsu Arai’s Outlines of The Doctrines of The Nichiren Sect published in 1893: “In one of his religious works Nichiren says: ‘Indian Buddhism came to the East. Japanese Buddhism will certainly go to the West.’ It just now happens that a great congress of Religions is opened in the city of Chicago in the United States of North America. We are happy enough to have an opportunity of making Nichiren fulfill his words, in sending this petit (42 pages on my Android tablet) pamphlet, in which Nichiren’s portrait and life as well as the outlines of the doctrines of his Sect are contained.”
