Matsubagayatsu Persecution Service

On the night of August 27, 1260, just forty-one days after Nichiren Shonin submitted his "Rissho Ankoku-ron" to the Shogunate, a mob hostile to Nichiren, an outspoken reformer, attacked his hermitage and set fire to it at Matsubagayatsu section of Kamakura. But according to a legend, a white monkey miraculously appeared before the sleeping priest, leading him to safety.
