Nichiren, a prominent figure in Japanese Buddhism during the Edo period, is depicted in various artworks and locations that showcase his influence and teachings. In Utagawa Kuniyoshi's color print titled "Nichiren Calming the Storm, " we witness Nichiren's ability to bring tranquility even amidst chaos. His serene presence resonates as he casts a mantra on the waves during his exile to Sado Island, as portrayed in another artwork by Kuniyoshi. The Buddhist Peace Pagoda dedicated to Nichiren in Battersea, London serves as a symbol of peace and enlightenment. It stands tall, reminding us of Nichiren's profound impact beyond Japan's borders. Another masterpiece by Kuniyoshi captures Nichiren praying for rain at Ryozengasaki in Kamakura during 1271. This painting reflects his unwavering faith and devotion towards helping others. In Julian Leonard Street's work depicting the gates of Tanjo-ji temple dedicated to Nichiren, we glimpse into the spiritual realm associated with this revered figure. The black-and-white photograph showcasing Honrenji Temple Cemetery further emphasizes the historical significance attached to Nichiren's teachings. Amidst snowy landscapes at Tsukahara on Sado Island or Echi on the Thirteenth Night of the Ninth Month, we see how nature becomes an integral part of Nichiren's journey towards enlightenment. These scenes captured by Kuniyoshi evoke a sense of serenity and introspection. Even today, Buddhist priests continue to uphold Nichiren's vision at Ikegami Temple in Omori, Japan. A photograph from 1904 reveals their dedication towards spreading his teachings and guiding others along their spiritual paths. Overall, these artistic depictions and sacred sites offer glimpses into both historical events surrounding Nichiren’s life as well as timeless aspects such as prayerfulness, resilience against adversity like storms or exile while also emphasizing peace-seeking efforts through calming rituals.
