SUNRISE
Nothing is more precious than peace. Nothing brings more happiness. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of humankind.
October 2, 1960. Shin’ichi Yamamoto was 32 years old. With a passionate resolve for peace burning in his heart, he set out on a worldwide journey. Only five months had passed since he was inaugurated as the third president of the Soka Gakkai.
On this day, Tokyo was blessed with crystal-clear skies and fresh autumn air. Members had been converging on Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport since early that morning, and by around 9:30 the observation deck was packed with people. They had come to see their president, Shin’ichi Yamamoto, off on his first visit overseas.
