noun
Nichiren Shoshu
A major school of Nichiren Buddhism, distinct from Nichiren Shu and Soka Gakkai. Often encountered in religious or historical contexts.
日蓮正宗は、富士大石寺を総本山とする仏教の宗派です。
Nichiren Shoshu is a Buddhist sect whose head temple is Taiseki-ji on Mount Fuji.
The name combines 日蓮 (Nichiren, the 13th-century founder) and 正宗 (orthodox school), reflecting its claim to the true lineage of Nichiren's teachings.
