"Nichiren Daishonin describes the fighting spirit necessary to defeat the 'three obstacles and four devils' in a letter addressed to the Ikegami brothers, who [resided in an area that is part of present-day Ota Ward and] are noble predecessors of our Tokyo members. He writes: 'From now on too, no matter what may happen, you must not slacken in the least. You must raise your voice all the more' (WND-2, 597).
