Stone, "The Atsuhara Affair: The Lotus Sutra, Persecution, and Religious Identity in the Early Nichiren Tradition" (Japanese Journal of Religious Studies, 2014)

source

A citation to Jacqueline I. Stone's peer-reviewed article on the 1279 Atsuhara persecution, read directly via the author's own posted PDF, pages 181 to 182 of which discuss the Taisekiji Dai Gohonzon and its place in Nichiren Shoshu tradition. Its strength is that Stone is a leading academic authority on medieval Nichiren Buddhism publishing in a peer-reviewed journal, and she states plainly that the Taisekiji mandala tradition is specific to Nichiren Shoshu and not shared by other Nichiren schools. Its limit is that the passage on the Dai Gohonzon is a short aside within an article whose main subject is the Atsuhara martyrs, not a dedicated study of the mandala itself.
