520 |a Nuclear weapons are a culmination of leading-edge technologies in human history. Humankind has never invented weapons capable of prevailing over them. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has elevated the risk that weapons of mass destruction may be used to a level not seen since the Cold War period. This paper explores a case of preventive diplomacy to avoid nuclear war: the late Daisaku Ikeda’s private diplomacy and Soka Gakkai’s campaigns against nuclear weapons. Soka Gakkai, a Buddhist lay association, has been modernizing Buddhism as a religion relevant for contemporary human societies through a worldwide action promoting peace, culture, and education over half a century. Their anti-nuclear-weapon activities are an embodiment of the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism, which was founded in 13th-century Japan, in the present days. Preventive diplomacy is a comparatively new concept, which was introduced after the Cold War. Ikeda conducted his private diplomacy to mitigate tensions between nuclear weapon states and to avoid their warfare since the 1960s. Soka Gakkai’s historical case might present an ideal model of preventive diplomacy to avoid an apocalyptic nuclear war.
