Have you heard about Nichiro, one of the Six Senior Disciples of Nichiren? His hand crushed and paralyzed thanks to the oarsman taking Nichiren to Izu? His imprisonment and escape to see Nichiren on Sado? His writings and yeomen-like propagation efforts in China and Siberia?
This priest Nichiro was the recipient of the first honzon Nichiren inscribed/ known as the Willow Gohonzon - Nichiren used a willow twig as his writing instrument .
