-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Many congratulations upon your spectacular victory.
Thanks to the joint efforts of each and every member,
the castle of Soka is now firmly established.
Please make sure to take good care of yourselves.
Let's now move forwards by making every effort
to live healthy and long lives.
* Japan had elections for the Upper House of Parliament on July 11th. The New Komeito party, supported by the Soka Gakkai, was able to secure a remarkable victory winning 13.1% of the votes cast in the proportional representation system.
** The New Komeito, is a party originally founded by the Soka Gakkai in 1964, but later separated as an independent entity, although Soka Gakkai provides electoral support. The New Komeito is committed to protecting human rights, including freedom of religion, and protects the interests of non-union labour and people who work in small and medium-sized companies that makes up a large segment of the Japanese
public.
