Our Gohonzons "are fake" -- Josei Toda

"We, ourselves, cannot produce the Gohonzon. Since it's the enlightened entity of Nichiren Daishonin **no one** has the authority other than the successive high priests who have been the sole heirs to the heritage of the True Law. We take no part in this. Therefore, the objects   of worship inscribed by those in the Butsuryu and Minobu factions [of the Nichiren sect] are  absolutely powerless. They are worthless because they are fake. In fact, they contain the power of evil spirits. That is why they are dangerous." Josei Toda, Daibyaku Renge, 98, p. 98.

Seems to me that transcriptions of Nichiren Gohonzon by faithless slanderers, not copies of Nichiren Gohonzon, are fake.
