Nichiro Nichiro (1245-1320) was Nissho's nephew, and he became a disciple of Nichiren Dai-Shonin in 1254. Nichiro was extremely devoted to Nichiren DaiShonin and is often called the "beloved disciple." When Nichiren Shonin was being taken away to Izu, Nichiro charged into the water in an attempt to acompany him. The samurai beat him away with oars which permanently crippled his hand. Nichiro was also arrested at the time of the Tatsunokuchi Incident.1 http://www.geocities.com/chris_holte/Buddhism/IssuesInBuddhism/nichiro.html	rrobinrb2000
Nichiro Shonin (1245-1320) Upon returning to Kamakura in 1274, Nichiren Shonin put Nichiro in charge of a new temple at Hikigayatsu, Kamakura. This was the Myohonji Temple. Because it was Nichiro's main base of operations in Kamakura, Nichiro's lineage is also known as the Hikigayatsu Lineage. http://nichirenscoffeehouse.net/Ryuei/SixDisciples_02.html	rrobinrb2000
