Sosei 蘇生 [Resurrection] Amulet of 1264
Life and legends of Nichiren
At Boso Hanto 1264-1267
On Nichiren's Gohonzon for Practicing Kanjin
The most recent evidence I have is that the original Soseino Amulet of 1264 was lost. However, a copy was made by the 33rd abbot of Kuon-ji, and this is extant. The original Soseino Amulet made by Nichiren, based on a report from someone who has seen a photo of the copy; "looks quite different [from the one depicted below] - it's a bit difficult to read - but looks like a simple mandala in abbreviated style with some passages of the Lotus Sutra."
The Soseino Amulet that is depicted below is not attributed to Nichiren, but appears to be wood block print done by someone else. It appears to depict four {4} Odaimoku swirling around Gatten & Nitten-- the Moon & the Sun; with Nichiren's lname and a koa/seal below. There seems to be another large kanji over Nichiren's name?
