Tenshō Kōtai Jingūkyō (Japanese天照皇大神宮教) is a Japanese new religious movement which emerged from Shinto. It was established by Sayo Kitamura (北村 サヨ) (1900–1967), with activities beginning in 1945. The movement includes 450,000 members.[1] Kitamura claimed possession by Amaterasu under the title Tenshō-Kōtaijin.
Followers practice a dance called muga no mai (無我の舞, "Dance of the non-self" or "Dance of the non-ego"), which is why the religion is called the "dancing religion" (踊る宗教, Odoru shūkyō).
