Abstract
“You were in the Zengakuren that turned away Eisenhower ?”.

The name Zengakuren had gained notoriety in the U.S. His ancestor was Major John Buttrick , one of those who gave the order to “Fire!” on the British forces in Concord, on the outskirts of Boston, starting the American War of Independence in 1775.
