*''Born: [[1565]]''
*''Died: [[1630]]''
Nichiô was a leader of [[Nichiren Buddhism]] in the late 16th to early 17th centuries. He is known as the founder of the Fuju-fuse movement, which emphasized the exclusive attitude of the Nichiren sect, saying one should neither receive anything (''fuju'') nor give anything (''fuse'') to adherents of other sects. When [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] invited leaders of all the major sects to a celebration for his unification of the country, Nichiô refused to attend. When he refused a similar invitation by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] some years later, he was exiled and the ''Fuju-fuse'' movement came to be harshly persecuted; it continues today, however.
