Shinano Peace CenterThe Shinano Peace Center was dedicated in April 1997, with SGI President Daisaku Ikeda visiting the facility on April 18 to offer prayers in honor of First Soka Gakkai President Tsunesaburo Makiguchi. Soka Gakkai and SGI members have followed suit to this day, doing gongyo and chanting daimoku on a daily basis.
