Yamazaki and Kokusai Shoho Newspaper

After WWII, Mr. Koshu Endo became a lecturer of "Seicho no Ie" (a right wing religious organization based upon ancestor worship founded by Masaharu Taniguchi).

From around 1965, Seicho no Ie made a link with a political party and started a Soka Gakkai bashing campaign.

1972 Endo left Seicho no Ie.. Eventually, Endo became a leader of "Kokusai Shoho Association" (International True Law Association) which has no Gohonzon, but believes in the "Great Spirituarity of the Great Universe."

1994 In December, Kunio Naito (ex-Mainichi reporter and well known anti-Gakkai activist) introduced Yamazaki to Endo, because Endo has been deeply involved in the Gakkai-bashing campaign. Endo has been working with LDP's Yoshinobu Shimamura (right wing Minister of Education who passed the revision of Religious Corporation Law).Yamazaki became the Editor-in-chief of their newspaper. Yamazaki is believed to have received several million Yen.

1995 In April, "Kokusai Shosho Newspaper" started its publication. Yamazaki travelled around Japan with Endo and gave Gakkai-bashing lectures. Yamazaki lalso lectured that when he was sick, Endo sent energy to him. Then, strangely, his sickness was cured.Yamazaki praized Endo as his mentor.

Ironically, Endo himself suffered from a stroke and his body has been paralyzed. The Association has been involved in power struggle and it splitted into several fractions. Those who tie with Yamazaki, always become a loser!!
