After attending the Headquarters General Meeting at the Soka University Gymnasium on May 3 in the wake of my resignation, I went directly to the Kanagawa Culture Center in Yokohama. This was because I no longer had a desk at the Soka Gakkai Headquarters. Later, when I occasionally had to do some work at the Headquarters, it was in a small room set aside for the building’s caretakers. That’s how callously the executive leadership treated me.
