520 |a Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat who in 1940 saved thousands of Jews living in Lithuania by issuing to them, without the authorization of his government, visas to go to Japan, from where they planned to go to the West. Daisaku Ikeda and Soka Gakkai have promoted the figure of Sugihara in Japan, in particular through the second version of the exhibition “The Courage to Remember,” launched in 2015, and internationally. Recent criticism of what some perceive as the mythologization of Sugihara for political purposes has extended to Soka Gakkai. The article argues that the criticism is unfair and emphasizes that Ikeda saw in Sugihara a model of universal values rather than the embodiment of an alleged quintessential “Japan-ness.”
