Tojo Kagenobu, the steward of the area and a strong Nembutsu believer, who that very day made his first attempt upon the Daishonin's life.
Tojo Kagenobu had, ever since the establishment of true Buddhism, harbored hatred for the Daishonin and watched vigilantly for an opportunity to harm him.
On November 11th, 1264, while the Daishonin was en route to Komatsubara, the home of his disciple, Kudo Yoshitaka, Tojo Kagenobu saw his chance.
Intent upon assassination, Kagenobu and hundreds of his soldiers ambushed the Daishonin.
In the harsh battle, Kudo Yoshitaka, was slain and the Daishonin himself received a sword cut upon the forehead.
This incident is referred to as the "Komatsubara Persecution".
One of traditional Buddhism's Five Cardinal Sins is to cause a Buddha to bleed.
Tojo Kagenobu, who injured the revered body of Nichiren Daishonin, is said to have gone mad and died within three days of this incident.
