Girō Seno’o
was a Japanese Nichiren Buddhist and Marxist. He founded the short lived Shinkō Bukkyō Seinen Dōmei (Youth League for Revitalizing Buddhism, 1931-1936).
In 1933 he wrote:
"I was born into a Shinshu family and brought up in pious nenbutsu surroundings. At twenty-one, though, a grave illness struck and I was forced to leave school. From then till I was thirty, I was literally at the brink of death. Perhaps it is fate that I should be brought back to life by the different outlook of Nichiren. That philosophy has since been for me the sole truth. For twenty and more years I devoted myself to studying and spreading it, so diligently as to forget sleep itself. Though physically still weak, I would push forward to fulfilling the Buddhist calling. However, the result was that I came to question the whole religious establishment itself. I found myself with no other possibility than to oppose it".〔Inagaki (1975).

==Propagation of Nichirenism==
In 1918 he joined the nationalistic Kokuchukai, a Nichiren-Buddhist lay-movement founded by Tanaka Chigaku and Honda Nissho. He was put in charge as the editor of the magazine for the "Youth Association of the Great Japanese Nichirenism Movement" which propagated the right-winged reinterpretation of Nichiren's teachings.〔Whalen Lai, ( "Seno’o Giro and the Dilemma of Modern Buddhism - Leftist Prophet of the Lotus Sutra", Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 11/1, p.13, 1984 )〕 Ten years later he was influenced by the no-self movement (''muga'') and began to change his orientation to an ideal of Buddhist socialism.〔Whalen Lai, ( "Seno’o Giro and the Dilemma of Modern Buddhism - Leftist Prophet of the Lotus Sutra", Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 11/1, p.24-25, 1984 )〕
