Tenshō Kōtai Jingūkyō
Tenshō Kōtai Jingūkyō ( Japanese 天 照 皇 大 神宮 教 ) is a Japanese new religious movement that emerged from Shintoism . It was founded by the farmer Sayo Kitamura ( 北 村 サ ヨ ) (1900–1967). Its activities began in 1945. The number of members is 450,000.
Its headquarters are in Tabuse ( 田 布施 町 , -chō ), a place in Kumage County , Yamaguchi , Japan .
Their followers practice a muga no mai ( 無 我 の 舞 , dt. "Dance of the non-self" or "Dance of the non-self") called dance, which is why the religion is also known as the "dancing religion" ( 踊 る 宗教 , Odoru shūkyō , English the Dancing Religion ).
