In the year 21 of the Showa era, Ōyamanezunomikoto placed its soul in a baby and descended into this world. The child, named Hideko Mori, was the incarnation of Ōyamanezunomikoto, who later became Tomomaruhime Sensei, Ōyamanezunomikoto’s direct messenger.
Around the same time as this Kami (Ōyamanezunomikoto) descended, Sadao Inai, who was suffering from an incurable disease, was saved by Ōyamanezunomikoto, who came to him in his dream. Afterwards, he received education from Kami, received the name Tomomarusai, and was commissioned as a messenger. On September 23, 1953, Ōyamanezunomikoto Shinji Kyōkai was established.
During Tomomarusai Sensei's time, there were many prophecies and amazing miracles, and
people came to know about the existence of Kami.
Eventually, from the Showa era to the Heisei era, Kyōkai was led by Tomomaruhime
Sensei, an incarnation of Ōyamanezunomikoto. As a result, people's hearts were drawn to
it, and the number of followers increased explosively.
With the rapid increase in the number of followers, the construction of Hikari no Yakata has been progressing across the country, and as of 2023, there are 38 Hikari no Yakata that have been built and opened. Shinji Kyōkai has expanded to having an office overseas.
As part of the expansion of church facilities, interment facilities have also been built since 1998. Currently, there are 13 interment facilities across the country. As a result, we have created an environment where we can continue to take care of everyone, from birth to the end of life, for generations to come.
Shinji, which are the words of Kami, have been received by messengers since the founding of Shinji Kyōkai. The role of the messenger varies depending on the era.
Tomomarusai Sensei was tasked with establishing the church and laying its foundation under Kami’s direction. In addition to the basic principles of the teachings, he received many Shinji related to management. Having fulfilled all the duties entrusted to him by Kami, he ended his life as a human in 1988 and was elevated to Daishin Tomomarusai no Mikoto, a Kami close to Ōyamanezunomikoto. People are now being watched over by Daishin from the world of Kami.
Tomomaruhime Sensei has shown us many truths as the very existence of Kami. Then, she revealed Kibō no Michi, the path of salvation, and returned to the world of Kami in 2002. Currently, as the divine Spirit of Ōyamanezunomikoto, her true form resides in Kōmyōden, at Shinjitsu no Michi Kaikan (place for offering kigan/prayers), Shinsōhonbu, where she protects people.
Currently, Kyōshu Seishisha Tomomarukō Sensei receives Shinji. They show us how to live a life manifesting Kibō no Michi, and if we live according to these teachings, we are sure to lead a fulfilled life without regrets.
