The Seikyo Shimbun headquarters in Shinanomachi, Shinjuku, Tokyo

The Seikyo Shimbun (聖教新聞, Seikyō Shimbun) (English: "the newspaper of sacred teachings") is a Japanese newspaper. It is owned by the Japanese Buddhist religious movement Soka Gakkai. As of 2019, the publication had a daily circulation of 5,500,000.[1]

Background[edit]

The Seikyo Shimbun was first published on 20 April 1951.[2]

The publication is owned and operated by the Japanese Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai and features news articles about the activities of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) members, guidance from the founding President of SGI, Daisaku Ikeda, and mainstream news from around Japan and abroad.

The Seikyo Shimbun is delivered throughout Japan by volunteer deliverers[3] to its subscribers. It is not sold in public shops.

Unlike the other daily newspapers in Japan, the Seikyo Shinbun is not a member of the Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association[4] nor the 日本ABC協会[5] who are officially in charge of the circulation numbers of Japanese newspapers.
