Does Taisekiji have Authentic Nichiren Gohonzons?

A: Nikko left Minobu-san in1288, with about a half dozen Nichiren gohonzons,
no more than that.  He spent two years at his mother's, then, at the invitation
of the Nanjo family, went to Taisekiji in 1290.  The original temple at
Taisekiji was built in 1291.  Nikko left thereafter for Kita-yama Honmonji, never to return to Taisekiji.

Nikko left authentic Nichiren gohonzons at various other Nikko temples.  He
had very few to give out; there are authentic Nichiren gohonzons at Myokakuji in Kyoto, Honnoji in Kyoto, Hokkeji (Kagawa Prefecture), Hommanji in Kyoto...these are all Nikko temples who are adamantly opposed to Taisekiji.  The recent defection of three Nichiren Shoshu temples is an example of this.  These temples went back to their affiliation with the other Nikko temples.

If Taisekiji was established in 1291, after Nichiren's death, and Nikko
never left an authentic Nichiren gohonzon there, where did they get the money or the opportunity to acquire eight other authentic Nichiren gohonzons?   The Nanjo family, of Taisekiji, was very irate that Nikko did not bestow one of his
authentic gohonzons on them, hence the reason for Nikko departure for
Kitayam-Honmonji.  Basically, Nikko did not trust the Nanjo's and would not
part with one of his authentic gohonzons for the benefit of their family temple.
Taisekiji was a family temple of the Nanjo family until the 18th century.

There were no chances to get Nichiren gohonzons after he died.  The major
temple had them, and individual members did not give them up.  So where did
Taisekiji manage to get Nichiren gohonzons , unless they manufactured them?  They cooked up the dai-gohonzon to give themselves credibility.  After all, it was a real loss of face that Nikko left them with nothing.....

Does it make logical sense that Taisekiji could have authentic Nichiren
gohonzons?  How, and when could this have been accomplished?  They were a
backwater family temple, with no clout in the face of the Kyoto based
temples of Nikko.  They also were poor and very isolated.  So how could they suddenly acquire such riches, long after Nichiren was dead?

It just doesn't pass muster, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.  American
members, who don't know what's being waved in front of their faces, say that
they have seen "with their own eyes" these gohonzons.  How do we know what
they are seeing is authentic?  The priests don't know any better.  They are
trained to take Taisekiji's word for everything.  It's telling that the hundreds of
priests who have left Taisekiji in the last twenty years (the shoshinkai)
have all maintained that the dai-gohonzon is a fake and that the Taisekiji
priesthood is guilty of many, many lies.

One more point: Ikeda tried to buy an authentic Nichiren gohonzon from
Nichiren Shu, but was turned down. If there were authentic Nichiren gohonzons at Taisekiji, why would he have to seek to buy one from Nichiren Shu?  After
all, he was financing the whole operation at Taisekiji, so he certainly could
have taken one of these, or found a willing priest to take one (many priests were in his camp, before the split).   Also, isn't it strange that no one can
examine or even view these "treasures" at Taisekiji.  No one is so gullible to accept their defense that "heretics" can't view these things.  After all, they allowed a Roman Catholic bishop and other Western dignitaries to examine the
dai-gohonzon, etc. up close.  This is OK, to let a Catholic cleric see the "most sacred of sacred".  But it's sacrilege to use the "Ode to Joy" as background music, because of Schiller's poetry, which makes reference to God.    Does this
make any sense at all?
