Infobox Religious Building/color
An infobox is a digital or physical table used to collect and present a subset of information about its subject, such as a document. It is a structured document containing a set of attribute–value pairs, and in Wikipedia represents a summary of information about the subject of an article. In this way, they are comparable to data tables in some aspects. When presented within the larger document it summarizes, an infobox is often presented in a sidebar format. An infobox may be implemented in another document by transcluding it into that document and specifying some or all of the attribute–value pairs associated with that infobox, known as parameterization. Wikipedia An infobox may be used to summarize the information of an article on Wikipedia. They are used on similar articles to ensure consistency of presentation by using a common format. Originally, infoboxes (and templates in general) were used for page layout purposes. An infobox may be transcluded into an article ...

Osashizu
In the Tenrikyo religion, the Osashizu (Japanese: おさしづ, also お指図 or 御指図, "Divine Directions") is a written record of oral revelations given by Izo Iburi. It is one of the three scriptures (''sangenten'' 三原典) of Tenrikyo, along with the ''Ofudesaki'' ("The Tip of the Writing Brush") and the ''Mikagura-uta'' ("The Songs for the Service"). The full scripture is published in seven volumes (plus an index in three volumes) and contains around 20,000 "divine directions" delivered between January 4, 1887, and June 9, 1907. Etymology and meaning ''O''- is an honorific prefix, while ''sashizu'' may refer to “instruction(s)” or “direction(s).” In Tenrikyo parlance, the term ''Osashizu'' technically has two senses, a broader and a narrower one. In its broader sense, the Osashizu includes all of the oral revelations given by Miki Nakayama (who followers refer to as ''Oyasama'' or the "Foundress"), and Izo Iburi (who followers refer to as the ''Honseki,'' or ...

Rōmaji
The romanization of Japanese is the use of Latin script to write the Japanese language. This method of writing is sometimes referred to in Japanese as . Japanese is normally written in a combination of logogram, logographic characters borrowed from Chinese (kanji) and syllabary, syllabic scripts (kana) that also ultimately derive from Chinese characters. There are several different romanization systems. The three main ones are Hepburn romanization, Kunrei-shiki romanization (ISO 3602) and Nihon-shiki romanization (ISO 3602 Strict). Variants of the Hepburn system are the most widely used. Romanized Japanese may be used in any context where Japanese text is targeted at non-Japanese speakers who cannot read kanji or kana, such as for names on street signs and passports and in dictionaries and textbooks for foreign learners of the language. It is also used to transliterate Japanese terms in text written in English (or other languages that use the Latin script) on topics related ...

God In Tenrikyo
In Tenrikyo, God is a single divine being and creator of the entire universe. God in Tenrikyo is most commonly referred to as ''Oyagami'' (親神) (), ''Tenri-Ō-no-Mikoto'' (天理王命) (), and ''Tsukihi'' (月日) (). The first two characters in the Japanese kanji for Tenri-Ō-no-Mikoto are 天理, where 天 refers to heaven or divinity, and 理 refers to reason or knowledge, thus "Tenri" (天理) refers to divine or heavenly knowledge, and in a sense adds a divine nature to truth itself whereas "天理" also means "natural law" or its pseudonym, "divine law." The English name most frequently used to refer to Tenri-Ō-no-Mikoto outside of ritual is "God the Parent"; in Japanese, the equivalent common names are ''Oyagami'' (親神) and ''Oyagami-sama'' (親神様). In Tenrikyo, God has no gender. Tenrikyo followers vary in their understanding of this creator, from the early understanding of spirit (''kami'', god/deity) through the underlying natural causality (''Tsukihi'', moon ...
