Jingu-kyo is a sect of Shinto that originated from Ise Grand Shrine, the Ise faith. It officially became a denominational Shinto sect in 1882, and was reorganized into the Jingu-hosai-kai (神宮奉斎会) in 1899.

The missionary body of the Ise faith

On July 20, 1872 (Meiji 5), he was appointed Chotami Urada, a minor chief priest of Ise Grand Shrine and also a member of Ministry of Education[1] requested the establishment of the Jingu Church (神宮教会, Jingū kyōkai), and in October, he submitted a notification for the Jingu-kyoin (神宮教院, Jingūkyō-in) for teaching and learning, established a kosha for the followers, and established the existing Ise-kō (Taijōkō) as the foundation of the Jingu Church. The Jingu-kyoin was reorganized under the umbrella of the Jingu Church based on the existing Ise-ko (Taiji-ko).[2] The Jingu-kyoin was established as the center of the Jingu Church.[3]

In 1873 (the 6th year of Meiji), based on a donation of 2,000 ryo by Munehide Honjo, Guji of Ise Jingu, a preaching hall was established to serve as a model for shrines throughout Japan, and in August it was named Jiyoukan, which meant "Shrine within Meiji Jingu The church was meant to be a church,[2] the notification was made in March, and the building opened on October 1.[4] The local koshas called themselves patriotic koshas, etc., but in October of 1873 (1873) they were unified and became Kamikaze Koshas [2].

From July to December of 1873, the Jingu Church's pilgrimage was planned by Urata and preached by Honjo and other ministers, and attracted an audience of 9,000 or more people on most days, and several hundred to 2,000 on others.[5]

After the dissolution of the Daikyōin, in accordance with Urada's teaching policy, a branch office was established in Tokyo, and each diocese in Japan had one headquarters church and branch churches.[2]

Independence as a denominational Shinto sect

In 1882, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued the "Ministry of Home Affairs Announcement No. B No. 7 of January 24, 1882," abolishing the dual role of the priest who presided over rituals and the Kyodo Shoku who conducted proselytizing. Shortly after this, the Ise Grand Shrine and the Jingu-kyoin were separated, and the Jingu-kyoin became a branch of the Sect Shinto called the Shinto Jingu-ha.[2] After Urata retired in 1877 (10th year of Meiji), Yoriyo Tanaka (ja), who had worked on the teaching, became the first head minister.[2] On October 5, the various schools of the Sect Shinto were independent under the name of the school, but were not branches each with the name of the denomination as not being [6]

In 1882 (Meiji 15), it was agreed that the production and distribution of the Jingu Taima would be entrusted to the Jingu Kyōin, but the following year it was changed so that the Jingu Office was responsible for production and the Jingu Kyōin was responsible for distribution. [7]

Tokyo Daijingu

In 1882 (Meiji 15), the real estate owned by the Jingu Shrine Tokyo branch office of Tokyo Hibiya became the property of Jingu Gakuin, and accompanied by Jingu Harukaden. Was owned by the Jingu Gakuin and renamed the Daijingu Shrine (commonly known as Hibiya Daijingu), and became Tokyo Daijingu after being burnt down by the earthquake[7].[clarification needed]

Development and reorganization to the Association of Shinto Shrines through the Jingu-hosai-kai

On September 24, 1899, the organization was reorganized as the Jingu-hosai-kai Foundation, an organization of reverends, due to the narrowing of the scope of its activities with the establishment of national Shinto and criticism of leaving the distribution of Jingu Taima, a national project, to one religious sect [7] In accordance with the Shinto Directive, 1946 (Showa21) January 23, National Shinto priesthood association, the Imperial Court Research Institute, and the Jingu-hosai-kai, took the lead to establish the Jinja Honcho.[8][9]

Present

There is currently a religious organization of the same name in Hyōgo Prefecture Tamba Sasayama City. It is not a direct successor to the prewar Jingu-kyo, but has the Ise Grand Shrine branch as its deities[10] and the Jinja Honcho and is headed by Harufumi Hioki, the chief priest of Ikuta Shrine, a Beppo Shrine, and is not unrelated to Ise Grand Shrine or the Shinto Shrines Agency.
