History
Foundation
Sanri Sanfukugen, then called Tenri Sanfukugen at that time, was formed by the former follower of Tenri Sanrinkō, Ishiishikawa Komakichi, in Fuse in March 1936 with his supporters who followed him. Ishiishikawa being the founder of his own independent religious organization had a different doctrinal interpretation from the one in Tenri Sanrinkō. Tenri Sanfukugen moved its headquarters to Kagawa Prefecture on 23 November 1936 as well as managed the formation and growth of it by his followers who served as the organization's executives. One of the prominent executives was Yamamoto Eizaburō. Afterwards Ishiishikawa's terms of address within his own religious organization became Oyasama and Shinbashira on 25 February 1937 after a consultative meeting. His spiritual title based on the lineage of Honmichi and Tenri Sanrinkō was also Kanrodai. Later near the end of 1937, the name of Ishiishikawa's religious organization, Tenri Sanfukugen, was changed to Sanri Sanfukugen.Demise
Ishiishikawa Komakichi died on 9 August 1939 with the duration of leadership lasting three years. His successor was Yamamoto Eizaburō. Sanri Sanfukugen under Yamamoto Eizaburō was persecuted by the state under the Peace Preservation Law for lèse-majesté on doctrinal ground. Even a similar religious organization such as Tenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho was also persecuted as well. Sanri Sanfukugen was closed afterwards.After its collapse, Yamamoto was imprisoned in Fuchū Prison until the end of the Pacific War.
