Oomoto Shin'yu
The ''Oomoto Shin'yu'' (大本神諭) is a sacred scripture of Oomoto, a Japanese new religion founded in 1892 by Nao Deguchi. Beginning in 1892, it was originally dictated by Nao Deguchi and written on paper in hiragana. The manuscript, originally known as the ''Ofudesaki'' or ''Fudesaki'' (not to be confused with the ''Ofudesaki'' of Tenrikyo by Miki Nakayama), was later reinterpreted and edited by Onisaburo Deguchi to become the ''Oomoto Shin'yu''. Onisaburo Deguchi glossed the original kana text with kanji and prepared it for publication. During the course of editing the manuscript, Onisaburo Deguchi altered some of the meanings of the original text, since he and Nao Deguchi had differing beliefs. As a result, the Nao Deguchi's original unedited, unpublished manuscript is referred to as the ''Ofudesaki'', while Onisaburo Deguchi's edited version is known ''Oomoto Shin'yu''. The text has 277 sections, organized by date starting from 1892 up until Nao Deguchi's death in 1918. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Japanese Year
The or , is the first of the two elements that identify years in the Japanese era calendar scheme. The second element is a number which indicates the year number within the era (with the first year being "", meaning "origin, basis"), followed by the literal "" meaning "year". Era names originated in 140 BCE in Imperial China, during the reign of the Emperor Wu of Han. As elsewhere in the Sinosphere, the use of era names was originally derived from Chinese imperial practice, although the Japanese system is independent of the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese era name systems. Unlike its other Sinosphere counterparts, Japanese era names are still in official use. Government offices usually require era names and years for official papers. The five era names used since the end of the Edo period in 1868 can be abbreviated by taking the first letter of their romanized names. For example, S55 means Shōwa 55 (i.e. 1980), and H22 stands for Heisei 22 (2010). At 62 years and 2 weeks, Shō ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ushitora No Konjin
is an itinerant ''Kami'' (a divine spirit) from Onmyōdō (a traditional Japanese cosmology and system of divination based on the Chinese philosophies of ''Wu Xing'' (Five Elements) and ''Yin and yang''). Konjin is associated with compass directions, and said to change position with the year, lunar month, and season. Konjin's momentary location in space at any given time is considered an unlucky direction, because this ''kami'' is stated to be particularly violent and said to punish through curses. Based on this, a calendar with astronomical and geomantic direction relations was created, which included interdictions (''kataimi)''. A practice known as ''katatagae'' (changing directions) is used to avoid the worst directions on a given day, usually where Konjin, Ten'ichijin, and Taihakujin are currently located. ''Katatagae'' was favored among Heian-period nobles and it became a part of their daily lives. The construction and renovation of houses, moving one's residence, public wo ...
