The Institute of Soka Faith Studies has released a special interview video, “What Is a World Religion?” with Masaru Sato.

In this video, Masaru Sato—author, former diplomat, and a prolific voice in the fields of religion and international politics—speaks about Soka Faith Studies III: On World Religion, published in November 2025.

The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including the theologian Hromádka and President Ikeda; the contents of Soka Faith Studies III; why the names of the three founding presidents do not appear in school textbooks; and his expectations for the Institute of Soka Faith Studies.
