Last year, to commerate the establishment of Nichiren Shu and initiate 750 years of faith in the Lotus Sutra, young priests of Nichiren Shu walked the entire way from thier home in the Kansai area all the way to Seichoji temple in Chiba Prefecture, beating the Taiko drums and chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo the entire way. It took more than one month for them to make the journey. To see more photos of their endeavour, go Photo Gallery II - Nichiren Shu in Japan.
