Konkokyo

Konkōkyō (金光教, Konkō-kyō^?) or just Konkō, is a religion and spiritual way of living of Japanese origin. Originating in Shinbutsu Shugo beliefs, It is now Sectarian Shintō as a member of the Kyoha Shintō Rengokai (Association of Sectarian Shinto). It is a syncretic, henotheistic and pantheistic religion, which worships the universe as the deity Tenchi Kane No Kami, or the Golden Kami of Heaven and Earth (or the Universe). Tenchi Kane No Kami is also referred to as "Tenchi No Kami-Sama," "Oyagami-Sama," "Kami-Sama," and "Kami." In English language, the deity can also be called, "Divine Parent of the Universe," "Principle Parent," "Parent Kami," "Kami-Sama," or "Kami.". Although mentioned as 'he' for linguistic convenience, the Kami is neither male or female.

Bunjirō Kawate (川手文治郎, Kawate Bunjirō^?, 1814–1883) is recognized as the founder of Konkō-kyō way and teachings, beginning in 1859. He was born on September 29, 1814, in the village of Urami in Bitchū Province (in present-day Asakuchi, Okayama Prefecture) to a farming family. Urami was a small quiet village located about two kilometers northwest of present-day Konkokyo Headquarters. Genshichi was often carried by his father's back and visited various shrines and temples. Given the name Genshichi, he was the second son of Kandori Juhei (Father) and Kandori Shimo (Mother). When Bunji was 13, he received education from Ono Mitsuemon, the village headman for two years.
