Shintō Taikyō Explained
Shintō Taikyō (神道大教), formerly called Shinto Honkyoku (神道本局), is a Japanese Shintoist organization, and was established by Meiji officials in 1873.[1] It is recognized officially,[2] and its headquarters are in Tokyo.[3] It has many shrines,[4] and Tenrikyo used to be under its jurisdiction.[5]
Its teachings focus on the early kami of the Kojiki narrative such as Ame-no-Minakanushi.[6]
It is one of the thirteen shinto sects.[7] [8] It used to be very influential but its influence diminished and continues to diminish due to the prevalence of powerful sects such as Tenrikyo and Izumo-taishakyo.[9]
Its name 'Taikyo' refers to the Three Great Teachings first stated in the Proclamation of the Great Doctrine,[10] and it is linked to the historical Great Teaching Institute.
Three Great Teachings
The organization follows these Three Great Teachings, which date back to the Proclamation of the Great Doctrine:[11]
- Respect for the gods, love of country;[12]
- Making clear the principles of Heaven and the Way of Man;
- Reverence for the emperor and obedience to the will of the court.
