Nichiren Shoshu is one of the larger sects of Nichiren Buddhism with a substantial international membership. Its head temple, Taiseki-ji, is located on the lower slopes of Mount Fuji. The name Nichiren Shōshū is of relatively recent coinage, dating from the Meiji Era (post 1868) and means "Orthodox Nichiren School". Before then the school had been known under a number of names, most notably "The Fuji School" in reference to Taiseki-ji's location. It is one of the Nichiren schools that sees itself in the lineage of Nikko, one of Nichiren's senior priest-disciples, whom Nichiren Shoshu considers to be the second high priest of the sect.
