The New Human Revolution is a thirty-volume historical novel by Daisaku Ikeda that narrates the story of the Soka Gakkai's development from 1960 onwards. It continues the story begun in Ikeda’s earlier work, The Human Revolution, which details the efforts of Josei Toda to rebuild the Soka Gakkai in postwar Japan. The New Human Revolution follows Ikeda, who appears in the story as Shin’ichi Yamamoto, as he takes on the role of the third president of the Soka Gakkai and works to develop a global peace movement. The work emphasizes the concept of 'human revolution,' where individual inner transformation leads to societal and global change. The novel was written over 25 years, from August 6, 1993, to August 6, 2018, and was serialized in the Soka Gakkai’s daily newspaper, the Seikyo Shimbun.
