Ide Kuniko


Ide Kuniko, also known as Ide Kuni, was a Japanese religious leader from Miki, Hyōgo Prefecture who founded her own religious movement based on Tenrikyo. She experienced divine possession in 1908 and later founded Asahi Jinja in Miki. She was also known as the Oyasama of Banshū and the "Second Foundress", since her followers revered her as the successor to Tenrikyo's founder Nakayama Miki.
In 1911, Ide Kuniko claimed to have divine powers at the Tenrikyo Church Headquarters in Tenri, Nara, where she was dragged out and beaten by other Tenrikyo followers.
Ide Kuniko used a variant of the Mikagura-uta called the Nisei Mikagura-uta .
