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 edit
The organization follows these Three Great Teachings, which date back to the Proclamation of the Great Doctrine:[11]
