厄除け祖師(日蓮大聖人)
Yakuyoke Soshi is a title for Nichiren, the 13th-century Buddhist monk who founded the Nichiren school of Japanese Buddhism, venerated at certain temples in his aspect as a protector against calamity and misfortune. The epithet 'yakuyoke' reflects a devotional tradition associating him with warding off evil and impurity, often expressed through rites, talismans, and temple observances tied to his teachings and image. This role emerged from popular veneration built upon his historical legacy as a reformer and teacher, rather than from a distinct canonical account of exorcistic power.
